Only those two commands. Nothing else.

The reason it doesn't load grub.cfg is because that filename is only found
in the "normal" module, which as I said, doesn't get loaded automatically,
but is located without problem with the "insmod" command.

I don't know how the "normal" module is supposed to get loaded, but it's
clear that it IS supposed to, and that it isn't happening here.
I don't know if the problem is related to lvm, or if it's specific to AMD64,
or what.
