The recommended way to configure Grub 2 on Debian is to edit
/etc/default/grub and run update-grub .
The new format to specify a different default kernel is horrific; it
contains menu items separated with ">". You need to get the full label
from your generated grub.conf because it likely contains device UUIDs:
GRUB_DEFAULT="gnulinux-advanced-ed4def00-71bb-4521-a16e-9551bd762b5b>gnulinux-4.16.0-1-amd64-advanced-ed4def00-71bb-4521-a16e-9551bd762b5b"
You can try adding kernel command line parameters to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
to fix your latest kernel. You will need to run update-grub after each
change.
Kind regards,
