KegHead; Hi !
Is grub installed to the hard drive ?

Your debconf-show output is nothing like my working system output. I do not see this line as referenced from my system:
Your grub-probe output also does not indicate grub installed anywhere (which begs the question, how in the world are you booting?).* grub-pc/install_devices: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5000ABYS-01TNA0_WD-WCAPW1463479
My output:
Do you need guidance to install grub onto the hard drive ?sysop1@1204-a:~$ sudo grub-probe -t device /boot/grub

Hi!
I got it working!
re installed.
KegHead
That is one solution that is guaranteed to work !
Please mark this thread as solved (thread tools) so other's time is not consumed with a solved situation.
Best regards <== BDQ
