Bug#586449: Acknowledgement (unbootable system after grub-pc upgrade (unaligned pointer) locales problem)

[André Nunes]

These are the messages I get:

When I dpkg-reconfigure:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
	LANGUAGE = "en",
	LC_ALL = (unset),
	LANG = "C.UTF-8"

When I enter debconf-show grub-pc:

When I enter grub-install /dev/sda

/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no such disk.
Auto-detection of a filesystem module failed.

When I enter grub-install --modules=ext3

/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no such disk.
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no such disk.
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no such disk.
You attempted a cross-disk install, but the filesystem containing
/boot/grub does not support UUIDs.


I tryed to reconfigure locales and install locales-all. But none of this worked.
