If you're getting this non-deterministically, it suggests that you have
multiple possible boot disks and either your firmware is picking one or
the other inconsistently, or GRUB isn't properly configured to install
to the right ones.  You should run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and select
all the disks that your firmware might boot from at the "GRUB install
devices:" prompt.
