It's entirely unclear what "re-test" here means, unless maybe by
incorporating your immediately preceding thread response. Current behavior of
Grub2 menu overall and first grub.cfg stanza is acceptable having used/using
the following:

Only error message I recall is about vga= from Grub2 before first kernel/init
messages appear.
