Had these grub warnings on upgrading. Is it safe to reboot?

When doing an apt upgrade on a production machine I noticed a lot of warnings saying
grub-probe: warning: disk does not exist, so falling back to partition device /dev/xvda1
I have not made any changes to partitions or anything like that. It's a VPS and has been working for years with regular updates.
After the flurry of warnings it says Found linux image and Found initrd image and then done, and it goes on to Setting up linux-image-generic and so forth. So it seems to me that it has got on OK and the warnings are spurious. But I just wanted to check with the experts first!
Thanks
