Bug#567437: grub-pc: Grub Fails to upgrade properly to the latest version it comes up with "Unknown Filesystem"

[pancho horrillo]

Happens in my laptop, too.

Note that I have a bios_grub part (#1), which was created via debian-instaler,
during setup, so that grub does not complain about GPT.  I think that part is
the one that makes grub-probe to fail, but it worked ok with 1.98~20100126-1.
