I have grub-pc version 1.98-1ubuntu9 installed and this is still a

This fixes it for me, without changing anything on systems that are not
affected:

Whoops, in my haste to add the warning, I forgot some potentially useful
debugging information...
The systems that work have grub-pc/install_devices set to a path under

@ Colin Watson,
That's no problem. So I'm thinking instead of upgrading through update-
manager I could just change the sources.list via sed -i

'proposed' is not commented out, and then upgrade via terminal with

Great to see progress on this 'bug'.
For what it's worth, this is how i managed to produce the situation in
the first place; i installed Lucid (server, amd64) in a VM. Installing
Grub bailed out in the installer because of VirtIO weirdness and i had
to select 'do not install any bootloader'. Then
Well, I think this looks good, but I'm going to be very specific (and
