if i edit the /etc/default/grub and insert entries like : "insmod vbe", i only get error like: "insmod: can't read 'vbe': No such file or directory." at generating grub.cfg. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: insmod: can't read 'vbe': No such file or directory. Expected Results: ismod any module which are in /boot/grub/* must be loadable
Try with modprobe instead of insmod?
Also, paste your `emerge --info =sys-boot/grub-9999' output in a comment and reopen this bug report.

(In reply to comment #4) > ropen and waiting for help This isn't a support forum - it's a bug tracker and you haven't pointed out a bug yet. Try <http://forums.gentoo.org/> or <irc://chat.freenode.net/#gentoo> and file a new bug report when there is an actual bug to report. Apparently there is no module called vbe.ko in /lib/modules/<kernel_version>. I don't see how we could fix that for you.
