Sorry, I'm an idiot.  The grub-probe error doubtless comes from
grub-mkconfig, not grub-install.  Could you instead run:

  sudo sh -x /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig >/dev/null 2>grub-mkconfig.err

... and attach grub-mkconfig.err?  After that I can get back to you and
tell you the grub-probe -vv command I need (or you can look through the
log and find it yourself if you'd like, but I'd still appreciate having
the grub-mkconfig error output).

Thanks,
