Package: grub
Version: 0.97-35

After upgrade from grub version 0.97-32, I was unable to install new kernel 
version becouse update-grub fails. It seems that problem is with grub-probe:
	isis:~# grub-probe  /
	grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sde1.

Downgrade to version 0.97-32 solves the problem.

Maybe it is worth mentioning that /dev/sde1 is my root drive (at the moment). 
But I use UUID to identify partitions in my /etc/fstab 
and /boot/grub/menu.lst

from fstab:
...
UUID=199d56b3-7b2a-45f4-8be8-58a620aca501       /               ext3    
defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
...

from menu.lst
...
# kopt=root=UUID=199d56b3-7b2a-45f4-8be8-58a620aca501 ro
...
