And if it still doesn't work now, do my chroot solution with the new rootfs instead, and grub-update /dev/... on the new rootfs. | |

Thank you for your answer. I did what I firts thought I should do: installed grub to new Linux partition (sda5) and then booted in old Linux installation and run the command sudo update-grub2. Everything is fine now and just as I wanted
