This is one of those, "I've fallen and I can't get up" incidences, where Sid seems to have "lost track" of itself and won't let grub2 boot it up. I'm running Sid in the first SSD drive slot of 4 drive '12 cMacPro . . . multiboot with roughly 8 bare metal linux distros spread across 3 of the drives.
Over the last few months I have had to reboot to grub2 a couple of times to get Sid to boot. A few times, rather than booting Sid, the grub list booted the Bookworm partition . . . so all hasn't been exactly "smooth" with getting to Sid. The other 7 distros of various ilk seem to be able to "find themselves" . . . .
This morning I tried about 4 cold boots selecting the Sid line item and then "advanced options" all of them said, "Failed to mount /dev/sda6" which is where everybody else seems to locate Sid's "/" . . . but Sid has relocated to /dev/sdc6 . . . but that drive contains the same installs of OSX that everybody else sees as "sda" . . . ???
I got my SuperGrub2 ext disk out and used it to boot "gpt6"?? (cant remember, but it is the same drive as "sda" according to all the other distros) . . . and Sid "found itself" . . . . I ran lsblk -f and cat /etc/fstab and the UUID's seem to be the correct numbers, but Sid is still looking for them in a place where they aren't??
Any way to clean this up?? Sid is not the master grub controller, that task is held by the Tumbleweed distro install in . . . sda . . . .
