Yeah the "no bootable device" is the (emulated) BIOS message not finding anything in the boot sector, LBA 0, of the boot drive. So I wonder if you got the grub-install command wrong for the target. Usually what I do booting from some other media than the target (like a rescue disk or Live image), is: mount /dev/sda2 /mnt mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc chroot /mnt grub-install /dev/sda exit reboot If even LBA 0 loads, but core.img isn't found you will get a grub loading error because the code in LBA0 includes the error message if it can't jump to where core.img starts. And if it gets to core.img but doesn't find the rest of the grub files, you get a grub rescue prompt. So in any case, the message you're getting seems to not even be loading code from LBA 0 from the guest image.
