Same here, I upgraded an up-to date Debian wheezy 7.8 with a grub2 1.99 on
an old Poweredge 650 to jessie 8.1. The upgrade brought grub2 2.02beta2-22
and big problems.
(Sorry for excavating the week-old thread but perhaps I got some useful info
for other people.)

Before my booting process looked like this: Grub1 chainloaded grub2 which
loaded the linux kernel. Now grub1 chainloads grub2 which displays nothing
except a black screen (tried different displays). Interestingly, even using
a "Super Grub2 Disk" I got almost the same behaviour: The main menu works
but as soon as I select any option that does more than just changing the
menu options the system hangs. And I tried them all. I'd say that it is
impossible to boot my system using grub2 2.02. I have the feeling that grub
has problems with accessing my drives.
Using the installed grub1 (aka grub-legacy) it works perfectly.
As this is a headless server without a remote management card that is
standing very far away from me I will not experiment any further until I am
near the machine the next time.
