it caught me by surprise as in 14.04 the kernel was found. Anyway, I
followed your suggestion. See if you can spot my mistake:

grub> ls (cd0)
Device cd0: Filesystem type iso9660 - Label `Ubuntu-Server 16.04.1 LTS
arm64' - Last modification time 2016-07-19
21:29:23 Tuesday, UUID 2016-07-19-21-29-23-00 - Total size 1243168 sectors
