I encountered the same problem on a Dell laptop (I can't remember what model, I
guess from around 2005).
I edited /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib and commented out 3 lines as follows:
Before:
if fs_uuid="`${grub_probe} --device ${device} --target=fs_uuid 2> /dev/null`"
; then
echo "search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set ${fs_uuid}"
fi
After:
# if fs_uuid="`${grub_probe} --device ${device} --target=fs_uuid 2>
/dev/null`" ; then
# echo "search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set ${fs_uuid}"
# fi
Saved the file, then upon reboot it worked, but after that reboot it didn't
work.
So, I made the change to /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib again,
Changed the permissions of the file to read only (chmod 444)
Then ran dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc (or sudo update-grub might do the trick too).
I can't be sure exactly why the error re-occured after my first attempt,
but there's a chance changing the permissions on the file did the trick.
I actually found it quite fun learning more about grub2 :)
