Hi Manoj,
Thank you for your response. I have had a look at those links, and they are quite a bit "over my head", so I wonder if I should use the rescue disk to facilitate shifting my ~/working directory to my RAID disks. (Nothing else is of any consequence) and then use a Ubuntu 18.10 DVD to upgrade the distribution and hopefully create a new GRUB on (in old terms) /dev/sda3
Thoughts?
Thanks
Andrew Greig
Hi Andrew,
From the logs it looks like your sda3 partition (btrfs) is corrupt.
Perhaps you could boot from a rescue CD/flash drive and try some of the suggestions on these pages?

Hi All,
I have discovered a Ubuntu Boot-Repair -Disc which avoids syntax issues,
I was unable to come up with a satisfactory syntax for the commands
needed to solve this problem. Suitably chastened I have located a laptop
which has Thunderbird so now I can keep the thread on the list. My
attempts to communicate from a tablet produced a pile of crap.
I downloaded and burned a Disk-Repair-Disk for Ubuntu
I have run the recommended steps to repair GRUB 2.8, but nothing has
been achieved.
I did request the log be sent to a paste bin just in case, and as it is
a few pages of text here is the link.

The last line acknowledges the failure to achieve a result.
This machine is critical to my work, and I had considerable assistance
earlier in 2019 to achieve a RAID system on this machine, for which I am
truly grateful.
I would appreciate any assistance with this problem.
