Instead of 40_custom, I use 41_custom, but copied to 07_custom.
You have two copies of the custom configuration. One in
/etc/grub.d/07_custom and one in /etc/grub.d/41_custom. Correct?
Are both entries in the menu? Only the one from 07_custom?
The immediate puzzle here is the custom menu entry in
/etc/boot/grub.cfg and not displayed in the boot menu. As if menu
display stops before the custom section.
Don't want to be stuck with a broken system. Need to be a careful
monkeying.
Thanks, ... P.
It's possibly not reading the grub.cfg you think it is reading. I've
hit this problem before - IIRC grub uses the grub.cfg from the *first*
place it finds one - this can even be a partition (or in my case a LV)
that is not used anywhere on any system.
So the first thing to check is whether there's a grub.cfg on any other
partition.
One thing you can try is changing something innocuous in what you think
is the live stanza, and then checking whether it's visible when you go
to edit the commands in the grub menu - if it's not then that tells you
it's not using that grub.cfg but another one that looks like it.
I have no idea if grub hides things that aren't parseable - that would
be my other guess.
