Currently, the script engine of grub2 doesn't support comment line ! Just
remove any line that starts with #, and you should be fine.

Another possible cause is that your font file is missing. In that case,
remove the following lines:
font (hd1,1)/usr/share/grub/unifont.pff
set gfxmode=640x480
insmod gfxterm
insmod vbe
terminal gfxterm

My mistake. Although the script engine doesn't handle comment, lines start
with # are dropped when read from config file, so it wouldn't cause problem.
I suspect the device name is wrong. If you are booting with the hard disk,
the device name should be (hd0,1). The wrong device name causes the font
command to fail, and it in turn causes other problem. Change (hd1,1) to
(hd0,1), see if it fixes the problem.
