Problems modifying grub

Hi,
I am having some problems trying to modify grub on my X200.
This was my first time installing Libreboot. I have managed to flash libreboot, and have installed Debian with full encryption using the guide. I can manually boot and all is working well.
I am having problems understanding how to modify grub. I have been following the guide at Libreboot.
1)I modified the grubtest.cfg.
2)I renamed it libreboot_grub.cfg and moved it to /boot/grub
On boot:
1)I get the following:
error: disk 'ata0' not found.
error: disk 'lvm/matrix-rootvol' not found.
error: disk 'lvm/matrix-boot' not found.
Attempting to decrypt master key...
Enter passphrase for ahci0,msdos1 (alphanumeric code here):
I enter the password. There is a delay of about a minute
2)I get the following:
Slot 0 opened
error: disk 'ata0,1' not found
error: no such partition
error: disk 'ata0,2' not found
this repeats - i.e. 0,1 0,2, 0,3 and so on
--MORE-- (I have to press enter)
more of the same
error: seriel port 'com0' isn't found.
error: terminal 'serial' isn't found.
--MORE--
3) I press enter, the screen goes back to the main menu, then automatically start to boot. I am presented with the familiar 'Please unlock disk sda1_crypt:' prompt.
4) I enter the password and the laptop boots into Debian.
My guess is that I have edited the grub file incorrectly as I am able to boot but in an inefficient manner. I have tried to read through the information at Libreboot, but it is quite difficult for me to follow.
I did not that on the Libreboot guide where it says to look in the grub file for:
menuentry 'Load Operating System [o]' --hotkey='o' --unrestricted
My file said:
menuentry 'Load Operating System (incl. fully encrypted disks) [o]' --hotkey='o'
So slightly different. Perhaps I there are additional parts of the grub config I need to remove?
Thank you in advance for any help. I am proud of myself for getting this far with librebooting so I hope to get this issue fixed!
My grub difficulties are minimized when I run "sudo update-grub" upon restarting after any
change in my HDD hardware, such as adding a USB-connected hard drive or flash drive. That
makes the next restart uneventful.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I have already tried that with no success.
Instead I have opted to reinstall without following the guide for encrypted /boot. I installed with encryption as I normally do, i.e. using the installer. The laptop boots rapidly and without issues now.
At least I know have an up and running libreboot'd X200 to use.
