I've tried option 2) again and it it gives me consistently the same result, an 
empty screen.
This is the /etc/default/grub for option 2)

#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

Now I'm using the magic sysrq 'B' key for reboot.
Only if I open the grub boot options with 'e' and comment out the line
# gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode
I get a visible login screen.
