What's about this two lines?

     linux /boot/vmlinuz-6.1.0-39-amd64 root=/dev/sdb2
     initrd /boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-39-amd64


Both files originally generated by update-grub are attached now.

O.K.
I have no idea where the informations are collected from.
I can only say that the update-grub scripts don't work for me, because 
there are many boot partitions and I am cloning versions of an OS to 
work with.

Sorry - we talk past each other.

Yes - that's the reason it must be edited manually.
