Hello,
I also have a similar error with rc1 and a Compaq CCISS controller,
although it's a little bit worse. :)
On the CCISS card, grub will not generate a valid device map - it just
spits out a blank one. If I go in and generate one manually (with the
contents "(hd0) /dev/ida/c0d0", and then attempt to re-install grub, I get
the same error you mentioned. After booting the system, grub will install
and work just fine, as long as I have the device.map entry.
