I know, but I can’t figure out WHAT To change to have it reflected here. The folder you’ve pointed to just has a config
file in it which looks like this.

I think this is a red herring as the entries are being picked up by the script that makes up the 30_os-prober
file in /etc/grub.d
- This isn’t a file you would really edit either! This was where I actually went to first in trying to get it to boot and resorted to hacking the grub.cfg
to get me booted to the other partition in short term so I could clean up the primary partition.
It seems to be this part of the script that generates the entry…
menuentry '$(echo "$OS $onstr" | grub_quote)' $CLASS --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os \$menuentry_id_option 'osprober-gnulinux-simple-$boot_device_id' {
EOF
save_default_entry | grub_add_tab
printf '%s\n' "${prepare_boot_cache}"
cat << EOF
linux ${LKERNEL} ${LPARAMS}
EOF
if [ -n "${LINITRD}" ] ; then
cat << EOF
initrd ${LINITRD}
EOF
fi
cat << EOF
}
EOF
More specifically, this bit: linux ${LKERNEL} ${LPARAMS}
but where this comes from is the point at which I get a little lost.
