Nice in theory, but the root device is off by -1. Default menu.lst

Maybe a limitation of legacy_kernel.
Normally to use labels in grub2 the 'search' command is used without any
reference to the device assignment.
Like:-
menuentry 'Mageia-2 multiboot' {
search --no-floppy --label --set=root mageia-2
multiboot /boot/grub2/i386-pc/core.img
}
menuentry 'Cauldron defkernel' {
legacy_kernel '(hd0,22)/boot/vmlinuz' '(hd0,21)/boot/vmlinuz'
'root=LABEL=22cauldrn' 'splash=verbose' 'noresume' 'video=1152x864'
'vga=794' '3' ''
legacy_initrd '(hd0,22)/boot/initrd' '(hd0,21)/boot/initrd'
}
It works when I s/hd0,21/hd0,22/g.
That syntax is apparently correct, as legacy_kernel needs to know what
the original legacy command was.
I have tested here in a clean mga3 installation and it works for me.
Please re-test and if it fails again please attach the original menu.lst
and the resulting grub.cfg along with any error messages.
It's entirely unclear what "re-test" here means, unless maybe by
incorporating your immediately preceding thread response. Current behavior of
Grub2 menu overall and first grub.cfg stanza is acceptable having used/using
the following:
http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Mdv/menu.lst.04-cldrn-gx27b.txt
http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Mdv/etc-default-grub-cldrn-gx27b.txt
http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Mdv/grub.cfg.06-cldrn-gx27b.txt
Only error message I recall is about vga= from Grub2 before first kernel/init
messages appear.
