[Bug 1318568] [NEW] grub2 failes in --configure step while doing a do-dist-upgrade from 12.04 lts to 14.04 lts (with option -d)

[itsnotvalid]

Public bug reported:

I tried reinstalling grub-pc and it reports that there is a problem with
GRUB drive:

grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/mapper/[redacted].
Check your device.map.

For this I could reinstall the system using the installer, however that
won't let the bug to be fixed.

Further, after some web search I tried update-grub, grub-probe, grub-
mkconfig etc. but with no luck. No matter which /dev/mapper device for
this hardware RAID 1 setup on LVM or the physical drives there is no way
out of this.

Also to note, that there is no files found for /boot/grub/device.map. So
there is nothing I could have checked as well.

Thanks.
