Comment 4 for bug 26058

Perhaps of interest is that I have to run:

$ grub-install --no-floppy --recheck /dev/hda
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
Due to a bug in xfs_freeze, the following command might produce a segmentation
fault when /boot/grub is not in an XFS filesystem. This error is harmless and
can be ignored.
xfs_freeze: specified file ["/boot/grub"] is not on an XFS filesystem
Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.

(hd0) /dev/hda

before

$ update-grub.

Running update-grub only doesn't fix the issue.

grub-install shows more information but I cannot redirect that output to a file
(I tried with 1>, 2>, &>, and >&).

After grub-install, dmesg says the following:

hdd: attached ide-floppy driver.

I don't have any other drive apart of hda, so it may be just fine.
