Having trouble getting a second partition to boot after using clonezilla.
I've partitioned a 120GB SSD into two 60GB partitions and installed the same linux distro based on debian on both partitions. Checked that each worked and then cloned the whole disk.
I then tested by re-imaging the disk with the clonezilla image I just created.
The first OS boots, but the second OS presents in the boot menu but then gives the message "error: no such device: ee0b33e3-bfc1-44a6-9eb0-0141d892e042. Press any key to continue.
When I press any key or if I wait long enough, the logo of the linux distro loads, but thats as far as it will go.
Worked it out. Needed to update grub as it had old UUIDs associated to the partitions. For posterity, I booted into the partition that was working and ran the following command:
sudo update-grub
And then the words "I'm the greatest linux administrator in the world!" departed from my lips. Lucky for me no one was around to hear me embaressing myself.

I suspect there is some kind of GRUB issue at play. My issue is almost exactly similar to the one in this thread from five years ago: http://superuser.com/questions/150407/clonezilla-broke-my-system-ubuntu-installation-lost-after-running-clonezilla < it's not entirely clear to me how it was made to work there either.
Any troubleshooting tips greatly appreciated, also, ELI5 if you have the time.
Thanks
