I felt that the problem can be more fundamental. It's great that you
fixed it the right way!
Everything is working fine now. I had a chance to test Realtek 8139
driver and serial console - no problem. I also could load kernel over
tftp.
The is a funny bug in the completion code when tftp is enabled:
grub> kernel (hd
Possible disks are: hd0 nd
grub> kernel (n
Error 23: Error while parsing number
I was pressing Tab while the cursor was on 'h' and 'n' respectively. But
it's a very minor issue. I don't want it to delay the release if it's
hard to fix. Netboot support in print_completions() is clearly a hack.
You may want to add a FIXME there for now.
Another little bug is that long lines are cut too early in the menu. For
example, I press 'e' in the menu twice to edit the command and put a long
pattern from numbers. That's what I see after I press Enter:

I found function print_entry(), where it's implemented, and it seems to be
intentional. Anyway, you should know better if it's a bug or not.
The right solution would be to show an arrow if the entry doesn't fit.
