I don't think Porteus bootloader is grub, but I could be wrong. How were you booting solus before Porteus?

Can you upload the solus grub menu so I can review it please. https://www.mediafire.com/ is what many users use.
Does the solus grub menu have the ability to boot other systems? Until we figure out a better option you will have to switch OSs by using your machine's boot menu. Is your machine BIOS or UEFI based?
BTW You are right the Porteus bootloader menu is grub based. I thought it was rEFInd based.

No idea, I've never used solus.

In Porteus it's in /boot/syslinux/.

Post the output of your sda1 and sda7 drives.

ls -lght /mnt/sda1/
ls -lght /mnt/sda7/
Your solus boot menu is in /isolinux/isolinux.cfg.

I think a menu item like this added to the Porteus.cfg menu might work for solus.

Do you have a sda0 partition and if so please post the output of a ls -lght /mnt/sda0/ command.
