to the correct boot device:
grub-install --root-directory=/new /dev/sda
Finally back up. The issue was specifically that my /boot partition was
a RAID1. Possibly I had a cockpit error on the initial upgrade where I
may have selected /dev/sda instead of the RAID partition. I then decided
to do a clean install formatting root and boot. I saw that there were
error writing to the raid partition. I ended up unraiding the /boot, and
that fixed everything.
I had a few Gnome errors, but I've run into those before with both SuSE
and Fedora when upgrading.
In any case, my /etc as well as home is fully backed up. Now just to
restore some of the customizations.
