*But* I think the problem is the OS you are trying to boot up is in a GPT disk, not a msdos disk as shown by your entries you gave using PARTUUID which can only apply to GPT disks.

No, this is a fake PARTUUID emulated by the Linux kernel and blkid from a MSDOS partition table (disk identifier + partition number).

Unless you have set up your GPT disk to have a *flagged* BIOS Boot partition, booting in bios-legacy will be a problem.

The lack of a BIOS boot partition only makes GRUB less reliable because it has to use blocklists to load its core image.
