I upgraded to the latest version 1.98+20100617-1 and `/boot/grub/stage2`
is still missing. During the upgrade I noticed the following error
message.

        Setting up grub-pc (1.98+20100617-1) ...
        /usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: no such disk.
        Generating grub.cfg ...
        Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686
        Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686
        done

I searched for this and found #575429 [3]. But I do not use a RAID and
running `sudo update-grub` does not output this message.

I am pasting more information into this message as the reported in [3]
did.

        $ more /boot/grub/device.map 
        (hd0)   /dev/hda
        (hd1)   /dev/sda
        $ sudo blkid
        /dev/sda5: UUID="fbcdea36-67e3-4c38-88d3-6389853d3038"
        TYPE="swap" 
        /dev/sda1: UUID="582643ad-cb1e-4a01-bca4-5c8ad8562447"
        TYPE="ext4" 
        $ sudo update-grub
        Generating grub.cfg ...
        Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686
        Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686
        done
        $ ls /boot/grub/stage2 
        ls: cannot access /boot/grub/stage2: No such file or directory


Thanks,

Paul
