grub-probe give me this error when i want to install a new kernel with
apt:
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
grub-probe: error: Cannot get the real path of `/dev/fd0'
User postinst hook script [update-grub] exited with value 1

# grub-probe -v /boot/grub
grub-probe: error: Cannot get the real path of `/dev/fd0'
