I had a private email with some suggestions.  They didn't work but I

He said that I don't need the grub lines if I am using uefi.  Those
lines were actually added in as a Hail Mary.  In or out made no difference.

He also suggested starting over with a new disk but that didn't help either.

Still looking for suggestions.
