I got this error too after upgrading GRUB from 0.97-32 to 0.97-36. Turns out 
my device.map had this:

~$ cat /boot/grub/device.map
(hd0)   /dev/hda

But the device name changed to /dev/sda a long time ago, when I switched to 
the new SATA drivers. Correcting the device.map fixes the problem. Apparently 
this GRUB version is less tolerant to this error.
