if 'parted -l' is used within grub-probe this could cause problems, as i
saw -- i only could get an output by two times ignoring errors as you
can see .... maybe this could also help:

Title:
grub-probe auto-detection fails on raid
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
grub-probe auto-detection fails on raid, which can be seen f.e. on update-grub on separate hd in system.
error messages:
grub-probe: Fehler: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/mapper/via_jehhchjje7. Check your device.map.
grub-probe: Fehler: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/mapper/via_jehhchjje8. Check your device.map.
installation of grub in MBR of raid not possible. It was no problem
until ubuntu 11.10, which still is in use on raid to boot from (ubuntu
on raid /dev/mapper/via_jehhchjje7 ext4), because upgrade to 12.04 is
not possible. There are really many users. also on servers effected,
when you study the web via search engine !!!!
interesting thing is:
