[solved] grub-probe error when installing updated kernel.

Setting up linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 (3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u4) ...
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub:
Generating grub configuration file ...

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64
grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem.
Found Debian GNU/Linux (8.2) on /dev/sda1
Found Debian GNU/Linux (8.1) on /dev/sda2
Found Debian GNU/Linux (8.1) on /dev/sda3

What's this "grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem"?  All my internal drive partitions are ext4; perhaps it's reporting my NTFS external drive?

EDIT:  Apparently this has happened with zfs filesystems, so I'm guessing it does have something to do with the NTFS drive.
