Check your device.map file for proper BIOS names for block
devices per kernel you are using.

Running this should fix:
grub-install --recheck /dev/sda

check /boot/grub/device.map file
Example:

(fd0)	/dev/fd0
(hd0)	/dev/sda
(hd1)	/dev/sdb
(hd2)	/dev/sdc
(hd3)	/dev/sdd

Example if using older kernel:
IDE PATA:

(fd0)	/dev/fd0
(hd0)	/dev/hda
(hd1)	/dev/hdb
(hd2)	/dev/hdc
(hd3)	/dev/hdd
