The latest version of grub.exe cannot boot in a BOE E1200 notebook. It restarts when it is about to display the menu. The old version does not restart but has a black screen. After removing the statements for loading the font and background in menu.lst, the menu is normal and the boot is also normal.

Currently, only this BOE notebook cannot use Chinese, and other computers boot normally.

Part of the content of menu.lst is as follows:

timeout 30
default 1
find --set-root /biaoji.id
splashimage /BOOT/GRUB/BACK.GZ
fontfile /BOOT/GRUB/FONT.GZ
foreground ffffff
outline

title 1、Multi-mode PE
find --set-root /biaoji.id
chainloader /BOOT/GR2PE.BIN

Suspect that the graphics mode is using memory and conflicts with the BIOS.

Try removing fontfile and keeping splashimage, what changes occur?

Use the displaymem command in the grub command line to display the memory distribution.

After removing fontfile and keeping splashimage, it still restarts.
The displaymem shows as follows:

The memory distribution is normal. Suspect that the hardware IO instructions used in the graphics mode are incompatible with this machine.

The graphics mode should completely use BIOS INT10, and should not directly use hardware IO instructions.

This work needs to be sorted out later.

Currently, this problem will not be solved for the time being.

Thanks for Budian's reply and help! In order to ensure maximum compatibility, I have to not use Chinese.
