I also have a system with no LVM requirement.
The lines "/proc/devices: No entry for device-mapper found" are emitted by grub-probe. In general,
the grub scripts redirect grub-probe's stderr to /dev/null to suppress these, but the subroutines in
/usr/share/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib aren't completely consistent in doing so.
I quickly hacked /usr/share/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib to add the redirection on every invocation of
grub-probe and the messages have gone away.
For example, the original line
partmap="`"${grub_probe}" --device $@ --target=partmap`"
was changed to
partmap="`"${grub_probe}" --device $@ --target=partmap`" 2> /dev/null
(I'm not supplying an actual diff because I haven't checked the full logic and may have broken
something. It was just a quick experiment.)
