@iska You won't see anything in grub's console, as grub is no longer running when Linux is launched.
He mentioned that Linux booted, and stuff about networking, which strongly implied that the login prompt worked, but of course he didn't actually say what occurred.
Linux does output logs to framebuffer during early boot and so you can boot up just Linux (with no rootfs) and watch it panic(), but it's a incredible stretch to say the computer can "boot linux" - when booting didn't finish.

So you started with being strict about Linux — GNU/Linux and now you tell us the "booting linux" means getting to the login prompt? 😏
Booting linux means exactly that — getting kernel to the point when, in theory, it can mount the real root fs and get to starting other os facilities. Your init script may even stop here. Gracefully.
If you get to some sort of busybox prompt, you are far from bringing up the network, but it still counts!
