Before we close this out with an assumption that an update will help,
Abel, could you clarify one thing?

  ls -l /dev/mapper/ssd-root

If that's a symlink, then Bastian is probably right and upgrading
grub-pc should do the job.  If it isn't a symlink, then we'll need to
investigate further.

Thanks,
