Execute the command mount without any parameters in a terminal.
If you or /etc/fstab use(s) the /dev/mapper device then grub-probe will
also use that one.

If you really don't use dmraid, you can purge the dmraid package, run
`sudo update-initramfs -c -t -k all' and then reboot to get rid of
the /dev/mapper/nvidia_ devices.
But this only cleanly works if nothing uses these devices. I.e.
mostly /etc/fstab.
