grub-probe cannot find a GRUB device for the Arch flash drive

Hi folks,

I have stumbled upon a quite strange problem with GRUB and more specifically with grub-probe that I cannot explain.

I have 2 NVME drives in my computers, identified as /dev/nvme1 and /dev/nvme2, with Arch on the first one and Windows on the second one. After having installed Arch and GRUB, when I ran os-prober or grub-mkconfig, I had the following error message:

grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1. Check your device.map.

Well, there is just one problem... it turns out that /dev/sda is my Arch flash drive xD. For now I walked round this problem by purely and simply withdrawing the flash drive, then running again the command grub-mkconfig, but it's "quick and dirty" as we might say, and I would like to know how to solve or, at the very least, circumvent "properly" this issue. In passing, I have not found any device.map file in the EFI partition or elsewhere for now.

Thank you in advance for your help and your explanations.
