Marcy, thank you for pointing that out. I have that in my documentation since SLES12 also but when I checked, I noticed that for the server I upgraded from 12 to 15, this option was commented out! I also add SUSE_REMOVE_LINUX_ROOT_PARAM="true" but this option was still there. So it turns out that this entire thing could be avoided by the GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true. I point to my root device via the root= kernel option and point to the device number by-path. Thank you for reminding me to look for this option. Don't know how it got commented out or perhaps it was never uncommented.

My brain cells that contained why I did that seem to have been reused for another purpose though, so maybe it was something else. I know it had to do with clones.
