Usually grub-install helps. I assume the problem is due to different disk architecture or precisely how the PC would access SDD - so might be hardware vendor related. Are you sure it points to the same piece of data or sector/block when giving control to grub loader? I vote for grub-install. In such a case I do boot from live usb stick, chroot and perform grub install. Regarding the point mentioned above about UUID I should admit that uuid is very helpful when assembling raid devices on a chasis with multiple disks which get initialized randomly (you do not expect to have sdd or sdh for the same drive after each boot. I found out it helps a lot. IT also helps to have it in grub. It is not very human readable, but is also not that much of overhead to find out which your uuid is pointing at. regards
