I am running Linux Mint 19.1 on a Samsung 860 EVO 500 GB (dev/sdb) along with Windows 10 on it and recently added a Crucial MX500 1TB (dev/sda) to try out and use more distros, both of them are partitionated. After that installing GRUB on the MX500 failed while installing the other distros (Kali and Parrot), I tried running
sudo update-grub
which returned the following errors:
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1. Check your device.map.
Found Kali GNU/Linux Rolling (kali-rolling) on /dev/sda1
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1. Check your device.map.

Found Parrot 4.5 (4.5) on /dev/sda3
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda3. Check your device.map.
Mint and Windows were detected with no errors being returned. The GRUB manual page indeed suggested editing device.map (https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/Device-map.html), which I do not know how to do (and I also could not find the file in /boot/grub/, it does not appear to be present in GRUB 2 anymore), I also did not understand the instructions at https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/Device-map.html. I also searched various forums, which e.g suggested deleting grub.cfg and let it be regenerated by updating grub again or running
sudo grub-mkdevicemap
All of this did not help, which is why I would like to know if you have any ideas on how to fix this.
