The changing in the grub mapping or "ordering" is where we are sharing the problem. The SCSI drive part I wasn't getting, that goes back to I think one of my '00 era Macs that has that kind of drive connector??

Libata IIRC was the means by, or corollary to which, disk device names were changed from hdX (hard disk) to sdX (scsi disk). SCSI per-disk partition count had been limited to 16, and the switch caused a disruptive application of the same limit to ATA disks with more than 16 that took quite some time for some people, particularly multibooters, to overcome. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
