Boot Problem
I have just installed a new SSD in my 64 bit Stretch platform.
When I boot the machine I get the following error:
error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normalmod' not found
Entering rescue mode .. . .
grub rescue>_
Pressing Contro-Alt-Delete reboots the system. Pressing Delete , or
F-8,during the post opens the ASUS UFEI Bios Utility - EZ mode
(actually, F-8 opens the boot selection).
Clicking on P0 boots the machine normally.
Here are the drives:

/dev/sda1: UUID="b780b7fb-05a5-4996-8ad5-cd2a578bb4f2" TYPE="ext4"
PARTUUID="a14552f2-01"
/dev/sda5: UUID="2e6c48ee-b1b5-441e-ae90-549f5e3b6134" TYPE="swap"
PARTUUID="a14552f2-05"
/dev/sdc1: UUID="1f363165-2c59-4236-850d-36d1e807099e" TYPE="ext4"
PARTUUID="eb2be395-01"
/dev/sdb1: UUID="900b5f0b-4f3d-4a64-8c91-29aee4c6fd07" TYPE="ext4"
PARTUUID="0bc7db76-01"
/dev/sdb5: UUID="7c386aca-a547-475f-8616-f7664f93c595" TYPE="swap"
PARTUUID="0bc7db76-05"
/dev/sdd1: UUID="51941391-3c92-4370-a330-270d2c4d7003" TYPE="ext4"
PARTUUID="7809855e-01"
Sda1 is the Stretch OS (P0), sdd1 is the new drive. I had no problems
installing the new drive, nor making it known to Stretch. My intention
is to install Buster on sdd1, while maintaining Stretch on sda1 for a
hopefully short period of time. I should note that I have added the
i386 applications to /etc/apt/sources.list as a number of my
applications require i386 libraries.
I have absolutely no idea as to why the new boot error, nor the solution:
1. What might be the source of the error?
2. More importantly, what is the solution, would running
update-grub solve the problem?
Comments will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
