grub edited just the sdc to sdb to boot, no other changes made. Copied fstab and grub.cfg to desktop sudo update-grub The fstab was unchanged (OK), and the grub.cfg had the UUIDs used instead of the sdc devices, and the hd2 s were changed to hd1 s., correcting all the problems. diff below from the above grub.cfg file:
