This behavior seems inconsistent to me. It's not like loading grub.cfg
is the main goal of GRUB. The main goal is loading an OS, which may
require more modules.
An equivalent in the OS world would be an OS failing to load network
drivers if X window system is started successfully.
Perhaps loading of grub.cfg should be separated from entering the normal
mode.
