I've seen this error message a few times. grub must be installed from a chroot environment (which should be true in your case). grub must find a *correct* mtab to resolve hard disk partitions. (it's a bit tricky since the /proc/mounts trick appears not to work) A leftover device.map may confuse it as well.
