Doh!  PEBKAC

I must have had an accident editing grub.cfg, the part I copied had

menuentry "LFS-7.9-rc1 4.4.1 (sda6) with early microcode" {
        insmod part_gpt
        insmod ext2
        set root='hd0,gpt2'
        linux   /vmlinuz-4.4.1-sda6 root=/dev/sda6 ro
        initrd  /microcode.img
}

but what is in the added part is

submenu "LFS-7.9-rc2-G (gnome) - sda8 menu" {

menuentry "LFS-7.9-rc2 4.4.2 (sda8) with early microcode" {
        insmod part_gpt2
                       ^
        insmod ext2
        set root='hd0,gpt2'
        linux   /vmlinuz-4.4.2-sda8 root=/dev/sda8 ro
        initrd  /microcode.img
}

} # end of sda8 menu

Interesting that grub nevertheless managed to load the kernel, i.e.
it must have inserted the part_gpt module itself.  A quick look at
what you put shows that you seem to not specify the modules I
insmod.
