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.
