That's the post I found before:

If it helps any, if I run grub-probe /dev/xvda as root:
error: cannot open `/dev/xvda' while attempting to get disk size.
grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /dev/xvda (is /dev mounted?).

Googling, I found the previous post about changing device.map, but it
seems to be set to what it should be:
(hd0) /dev/xvda
Something I'm missing?

Try creating /dev/xvda with mknod.
More recent setups just use /dev/xvda, xvdb, etc. directly and avoid
this.
Cheers,
