I am testing SNO 4.12 (based on RHEL 8.6) on a Mac Pro x86_64 machine.
The machine has 3 SSDs which are as follows:
/dev/sda (Apple SSD)
/dev/nvme0n1 (TopoLVM - RedHat LVM storage Operator)
/dev/nvme1n1 (OCP SNO 4.12.19)
everything works fine and I can reboot/switch from OCP to MacOS with
efibootmgr:
[root@neraka ~]# efibootmgr
BootCurrent: 0000
BootOrder: 0000,0001
Boot0000* Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Boot0001* rEFInd Boot Manager
Boot0080* Mac OS X
Boot0081* Mac OS X
Here's the disk config:
[root@neraka ~]# lsblk

The -PROBLEM- is that unless I 'wipe' /dev/sda and MacOS, GRUB from
/dev/nvme1n1p2 (OCP 4.12) barfs on the APFS partition on /dev/sda and goes
into interactive mode:
error: ../../grub-core/disk/eft/efidisk.c:612: fatture reading sector

@x1dd16480 from "hd5".
after that, pressing 'q' resumes normal boot and the system boots fine into
OCP.
I only have 3 drives in this machine, why is GRUB complaining about hd4, hd5
and the rest?
Furthermore, if I ask GRUB to enter a command shell, I see this:
grub> ls
(proc) (hd0) (hd1) (hd2) (hd3) (hd4) (hd5) (hd6) (hd6,msdos1) (hd7) (hd7,
gpt3) (hd7,gpt2) (hd7, gpt1) (hd8) (hd9) (hd9, gpt4) (hd9, gpt3) (hd9, gpt2)
(hd9,gpt1)

--MORE--
GRUB is completely confused by the Apple APFS partition on /dev/sda.
As much as I can understand/recognize that h6, h7 and hd9 must be my flash
drives (they show partitions), where are hd0,hd1,hd2,hd3, hd4, hd5 and hd8
coming from?
this is what fdisk shows:
[root@neraka ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sda
