    Well I have a new question based on this issue.
    First here is the output of fdisk -l

    So as you can see, I have 2 NVME drives, and one SSD drive. NVME0N1 is the one that came with the system and is the one that the Windows 10 install is on (also the EFI partition I used for the grub fix in this thread). NVME1N1 is the second NVME drive and has a KALI install and a Ubuntu install on it. The SDA drive is simply data drive for the three OS systems to use. When installing 2018.2 Kali ran into the grub issue. Researched the forums and found this fix, used it, and for /dev/sda used /dev/nvme0n1. The grub-install line went without any issues, the update-grub however popped multiple warnings and only found the Ubuntu install. Sure enough after the umount and reboot, only Kali and Ubuntu were options to boot into. So I guess my question is how to correct the pointers so as to have all three OS availible.

    And I feel like an idiot, I might have found the fix.
