Bug Description

Trying to add Memtest86+ to my boot menu, but I can't add any new items because it complains with the following error;

    Error building boot sequence.
    Check parameters!

This should not even be a thing, and all the /boot stuff are there. There's nothing wrong with their configurations either, Memtest86+.bin and Memtest86+.elf exist in /boot directory, so it really shouldn't have anything to complain about. As a precaution I did try reinstalling GRUB to see if that would fix it, but apparently not, so I have no idea what's going on here and appears to Grub Customizer is broken and not reading the directories and config files properly.

If I go to try see if I can enter any of the other menu entry types, it's the same thing there too. It won't let me add a new menu entry besides "Other" and "(script code)". I think for the time being until this bug is fixed I'll just have to manually make my menu entries. Never had this kind of issue before, I have the exact same setup on my laptop, same configs with same menu entry types.

Both PC and laptop are running Linux Mint 19.1

Still no update about this bug? Either Grub-Customizer is bugged or GRUB, or both. It's not surprising anyway this application is really buggy and doesn't work as intended.

I wish I could at least start the config using an available entry type, then switch to `other` in the menu to manually tweak to see whats missing from the config generated from the previous type. Instead we just see a vague "Error building boot sequence. Check parameters!" message, and have no way of using the tool further, like copying the starter config generated by a entry type, like for iso.
