I admit I made several big mistakes, here. The first was not
having a backup of /boot as I thought I did. The next is
thinking I could just copy the whole boot directory from a

Thanks to all for the advice and knowledge you shared about how
grub works. I am writing this on June 6 and early this morning,
I edited the boot command in the grub shell after
verifying that my stubborn no-boot drive truly was sitting at

First I greatly appreciate all this information as the idea is to
fix a problem I probably created long ago though I am not sure
how but the short story is that apt-get upgrade ran update-grub
and update-initramfs late last Fall and I was able to rescue it
but it happened again at the end of April

I have a plan but I need some more information. Is there any
personalization done by the boot setup process? Do our UUID's
or any other specific information pertaining to the installation
make it in to the initrd files?
