It seems my system broke because the install_devices was configured to the partition and not the device. $ lsblk --output NAME,TYPE,SIZE,FSTYPE,MOUNTPOINT,PTTYPE,MODEL NAME TYPE SIZE FSTYPE MOUNTPOINT PTTYPE MODEL sda disk 232.9G dos Samsung_SSD_840_EVO_250GB ├─sda1 part 333M ext4 / dos ├─sda2 part 1K dos ├─sda5 part 8.4G btrfs /usr dos ├─sda6 part 2.8G btrfs /var dos ├─sda7 part 27.7G swap [SWAP] dos ├─sda8 part 380M btrfs /tmp dos └─sda9 part 193.4G btrfs /home dos # Configuration which broke my system with the upgrade from 2.02 to 2.04 $ sudo debconf-show grub-pc|grep install_devices: * grub-pc/install_devices: /dev/disk/by-id/ata- Samsung_SSD_840_EVO_250GB_S1DBNSADC65873B-part1 # Configuration which worked when I upgraded from 2.02 to 2.04 $ sudo debconf-show grub-pc|grep install_devices: * grub-pc/install_devices: /dev/disk/by-id/ata- Samsung_SSD_840_EVO_250GB_S1DBNSADC65873B I vaguely remember that one of the grub upgrades (a long time ago) asked me if I would like to change the installation location but as far as I remember I never changed it.
