Why are you writing that?  Did any previous revision work for you?

I cannot reproduce that problem with revision 2059.  Please give details
how exactly you built and installed GRUB.

GRUB cannot find some module, probably "minicmd".  Please post the
output of "ls" and "set".  Perhaps "prefix" points to an undetected
device.

I don't know.  You message doesn't indicate any build failures.

I don't understand your question.

It looks like the failure happens before grub.cfg is loaded, so the
contents of grub.cfg is irrelevant at that stage.
