Thanks for the reply Tom but I think you missed my points... I want to understand what's wrong with my own Fedora booter script so that in future when I write other scripts I don't make the same errors.
I don't understand why update-grub has broken my previously working booters, specifically the 30_os-probers have now got root set to the /dev/sda5 pathing (via the UUID value) even though the menuentry title states they're pathed to /dev/sda3 (this was inserted by update-grub). It's as if in one section update-grub picks up a value saying set the root to /dev/sda3 then ignores it and sets it to /dev/sda5's path via UUID value, this makes no sense.
