Details:

Hello,

To get the RS-232 port on PCI-Express card working as GRUB console I have
downloaded the latest development release of GRUB2.

I have downloaded the most recent version with: 
git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/grub.git

The actual version is GNU GRUB 2.02~beta2

I have downloaded all mentioned packages/libraries.
Compilation was successful (autogen.sh, configure, make, make-install).

Then I did: 
grub-install /dev/sda
grub-install /dev/sdb

to install the new GRUB2 on both HDDs working as RAID1 device.

Then:
upgrade-grub

to generate new /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Then sync;sync;reboot.

System started with the new GRUB - I can see the version 2.02~beta2 at the top
of the screen.
The problem is, that instead of "normal" menu I saw new one, with Advanced
submenus etc.

I have found, that putting the:
GRUB_ENABLE_SUBMENU=false

in /etc/default/grub shuld bring back the simple menu structure,
but it didn't.
Later i have noticed, that none of the parameters configured in the
/etc/default/grub are taken into account, when I execute the update-grub
command.
Even the option GRUB_TIMEOUT is not being used - I have set it to 30 seconds,
but after update-grub and reboot I still have the Advanced menu structure and
5 seconds timeout in GRUB after restart.
No "serial" related info in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

Here is my /etc/default/grub configuration file, that I have used:

=================================================
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
#   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

GRUB_ENABLE_SUBMENU=false
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=30
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 console=ttyS4,115200n8"

GRUB_TERMINAL="console serial"
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --port=0xb880 --speed=115200"
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT="console serial_portb880"
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console serial_portb880"

# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"
=======================================================

And here is the /boot/grub/grub.cfg that has been created after executing
update-grub:

The same problem has been observed on two machines:
1. My home WEB server:
Ubuntu 12.04LTS 64bit, 2 HDDs (Samsung 1TB each) working in RAID1 config
(mdadm).
Xeon X58 CPU.
Motherboard: Sapphire Pure Black X58
6GB RAM

2. Virtual PC (VirtualBox) running also Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - 64 bit.
1GB RAM
Simple HDD config - one virtual disk, no raid.
