[Bug 1069856] Re: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for . Check your device.map.

[Andreas Heinig]

I tried both: With and without a device.map

Btw.: in hte configuration dialog, I choose to install grub on sda.
(->hd0)

Here is the device.map:
#> cat /boot/grub/device.map 
(hd0)   /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi_HDS721075KLA330_GTE200P8G1E7HE
(hd1)   /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3750330NS_9QK1YCFE
(hd2)   /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD753LJ_S13UJ1MQ30648

And the df output:
#> df
