That's because you have a separate /boot and the version I uploaded
looks only for /boot/grub/grub.cfg, not /grub/grub.cfg and in case of
failure it retries. So other than keyboard not working it works as expected.

Seems to be same as mine other than keyboard model, of course. In short,
I'm puzzled.

doesn't matter as long as UUIDs are correct.
