Please run:

  grub-probe -t drive /boot/grub

If that fails with the same error, then run this and show me the output:

  grub-probe -vvv -t drive /boot/grub

Otherwise, please run this and show me the output:

  sh -x /usr/sbin/grub-install --no-floppy --grub-setup=/bin/true "$(grub-probe -t drive /boot/grub)"

(Do all this as root, of course.)

Thanks,
