Hi Nicolas,
The mechanism used to load the kernel has changed from GRUB 2.06 to
GRUB 2.12, it is possible that there are unfortunate bugs in either in
GRUB and/or your firmware that is stopping the new mechanism from
loading the kernel.
Would you be able to attempt these two things to gather some information?
- Run `set debug=linux`, then `linux
PATH_TO_KERNEL_THAT_FAILS_TO_BOOT`. The output of the Linux command
should contain extra information with the debug mode enabled.
- (Make sure to have Secure Boot disabled), then run `rmmod peimage`
at the GRUB console, and then try running your boot entry (or
alternatively edit the boot entry with E and add that command on top).
