Sorry, you are right, I should have shown what's the output on screen
(xterm) and how the generated file /boot/grub/grub.cfg looks. Here it
is:
This what the user sees in xterm:

*************************************************************
(I edited the three different UUIDs which gepresent system partition,
40_custom partition, fll-fromiso-partition)
Obviously the 40_custom partition are in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but not
visible on screen output after "update-grub"
If you need still morer info, please let me know.
Thanks
Michael
