LOL - let me clarify, that this setup has not been created by intention.
I tried to change root to another SSD, but I never installed grub to the other
6 drives.
It happened by accident, when grub-install /dev/sda was executed, but /dev/sda
is not the expected drive, but mapped by who ever to another drive, that
should be /dev/sdg or so.

How should I do that?
If stable repos are updated to 6.0.1 then installing a fresh system using 6.0
netinst CD will end up by a fresh installed 6.0.1 system.
I don't have the possibility to diff agains 6.0 - the 6.0 systems I continue to
have, are quite different HW and for so not comparable.
So since update to 6.0.1 every installation on my desktop system results in an
unusable/broken system.

I'll check that, on my next sparetime timeslot.
