I encountered this bug, though the system still booted successfully with some error messages.
"grub-install /dev/sda" and "update-grub" fixed the problem. 'dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' was NOT useful. I think grub-pc.postinst failed to run any of the code paths that would run update-grub. The script seems to use existence of "stage2" file as a trigger for update path from legacy grub and existence of "core.img" as a trigger for new grub. Before running the above commands, my system had neither a file named "stage2" nor one named "core.img", so the script did nothing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
