Same here, I upgraded an up-to date Debian wheezy 7.8 with a grub2 1.99 on an old Poweredge 650 to jessie 8.1. The upgrade brought grub2 2.02beta2-22 and big problems.

Before my booting process looked like this: Grub1 chainloaded grub2 which loaded the linux kernel. Now grub1 chainloads grub2 which displays nothing except a black screen (tried different displays). Interestingly, even using a "Super Grub2 Disk" I got almost the same behaviour: The main menu works but as soon as I select any option that does more than just changing the menu options the system hangs. And I tried them all. I'd say that it is impossible to boot my system using grub2 2.02. I have the feeling that grub has problems with accessing my drives. Using the installed grub1 (aka grub-legacy) it works perfectly. As this is a headless server without a remote management card that is standing very far away from me I will not experiment any further until I am near the machine the next time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
