Q:Grub2 wont start after power failure
A:This was actually new for me - but it seems that this behaviour is caused by the last lines in /etc/grub.d/00_header

if [ \${recordfail} = 1 ]; then
  set timeout=-1
else
  set timeout=${GRUB_TIMEOUT}
fi

I suggest that you create a /etc/grub.d/01_recordfail_override, set the +x permission, and make it look like this:

cat << EOF
set timeout=${GRUB_TIMEOUT}
EOF

then run dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
