It hasn't got anything to do with initrd or stuff like that. The grub
menu comes way before that.
To show the menu there are 2 things that really matter:
- - there must exist a file /boot/grub2/grub.cfg . The important thing
here is the "2": Since Gentoo supports slotted installs of both grub2
and grub legacy it has a different path for grub2. Afaik that's a
fairly uncommon way of doing it (ubuntu and the like use
/boot/grub/grub.cfg).
If you installed grub 2 via portage you should make sure that the path
contains the 2 - if not you could try ist without it.
- - the file has to be "sane" - the one you posted earlier looks fine,
though. You could try to generate a new one via "grub2-mkconfig -o
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg" nonetheless.
