Ok, finally got this to work(ish)! I commented most things out in
/boot/grub/grub.cfg, and the menu finally shows up! When I boot it says
"error: no suitable mode found \n booting however" or somthing like
that.
As an aside, is there meant to be loads of ugly bash-like code in the
grub.cfg? Because I'd hate to think that someone was stupid/masochistic
enough to voluntarily choose bash as their configuration/scripting
language. If someone *was* that stupid, well... I (would have) told you
so!
Anyway, below is the configuration that finally (sort of) worked, with
all the bash bullshit taken out. I also commented the linux_gfx_mode and
recordfail stuff just in case.
I will try setting gfxpayload=text to see if that fixes the "no suitable
mode" error.
