Some additional information may help.
Devices /dev/sda, ..., /dev/sdd are joined in RAID.

I created temporary device.map:
(hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-S_3ND034S4
(hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-S_3ND1DBEF
(hd2) /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-S_9QG0RTF1
(hd3) /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-S_WD-WCAPW3292614
(hd4) /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-S_9QG0VRJT
(hd5) /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-S_WD-WCAPW3375714

With this device.map grub-probe executes successfully:
# grub-probe --device-map=tmp/device.map /
ext2

Can I use this device.map or will it cause problems?
