I'm sorry there are clearly two or more problems happening here. If you have
also tried the "standard" method of editing the Grub2 config file which is
well documented on a number of other bugs I'm sorry but I don't have any
suggestions, I don’t “know” any of the software around this problem.

There are at lease three things that can go wrong here;

  a.. Grub2 can fail to do it's job properly
  b.. The file system can fail in some way
  c.. The early parts of the Kernel Loading process can go wrong

In my case it was clearly the file system that caused the problem and is
still causing small problems, in that I get an error on every boot but it
still works.

The more common problem appears to be something going wrong with the Grub2
start-up.

I have seen nothing to suggest the third possibility but!!!!!!

And there might be others I cannot think of.

I should also say for completeness that the problem can also just be two of
the parts not being of the right version.

Good Luck

Frank
