Well, I think the first "set root" should tell grub2 where the boot partition
is ( in the case of a separate boot partition ), that means where all the grub
files are to be found.
The "linux" statement on the other hand tells grub where the kernel resides and
were "root" of the partition to be booted is. Is this not correct ?

Same results. No go

The kernel resides in /dev/sda6/boot . That is the reason for my "linux
(hd0,6)/boot/lfskernel..." etc. statement in grub.cfg

I think I will give it a try. I cannot understand the behaviour of my grub2 (
version 1.98 ), besides that the ext4 partition is corrupted. I will report.
Thank you very much for your help
