Description of problem:
when booting process step on grub2 screen, the grub can allow us to choose
which kernel you use, and edit the kernel boot parameters if need.
but it failed when I enter 'e' character to try to change some info.
the screen does not contain any words, and it can't return back to the grub
menu screen using enter 'Esc' button. the system didn't have any response,
