Could you attach the output of 'debconf-show grub-pc' (run as root) and
the contents of /proc/mounts, please?

It has long been the case that if you don't run grub-install on upgrade,
or if you run it on the wrong device, then you'll run into problems.
It's beginning to sound like this is just another duplicate of that
general class of problem, although it's slightly surprising that we're
getting so many of them all of a sudden.  Perhaps this is due to
Vladimir's iterator changes on 2010-06-10 changing the ABI between
kernel and modules.
