Uhm why didn't you just choose `execute a shell in /dev/sda1' or
whatever your / is from the rescue options?
The problem is that you didn't bind mounted /dev so there are no devices
for your disks because udev creates them which isn't run in a chroot.
If you choose the `execute a shell in' option /dev gets mounted and so
grub-probe should work.
I just tried it with a a few days old businesscard.
