Bug#590884: grub-pc: upgrading with vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel fails on device detection

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100710-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

On upgrade or update grub-probe fails on raid device detection.

root at debian:~# update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for
/dev/mapper/isw_dceedhiga_ARRAY2.  Check your device.map.

Workarround : booting on vmlinuz-2.6.32-3-amd64 allows to update grub-pc (only
memory leak warnings).

Notes :
 - Grub is installed on /dev/sda (hd0) and fails on other device.
 - using /dev/mapper or uuid in fstab doesn't change anything
