Normally you should explicitly select a platform package (grub-pc,
grub-efi-amd64, etc.) - grub2 is a dummy transitional package.  But I'll
assume you wrote grub-pc here instead.

If you add --debug to this, what's the output?  There'll be quite a lot
of it, so you might want to write something like this to capture it:

  grub-install --debug /dev/sdd >grub-install.out 2>&1
