I did the following in a live Fedora.
grub> kernel /boot/vmlinux root=/dev/sdb6 noresume splash=verbose vga=791
This produces Error 15: File not found

Unsurprisingly therefore, this gets Error 27:Unrecognized command
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd0,5) (hd1,5) as expected.
grub> kernel /boot/vmli<tab>
That got only the usual action of the Tab key, it didn't try to autocomplete anything.
You must do
root (hd1,5) or root (hd0,5)
first for tab completion to work.
And that is what I did. But note that the "uz" is missing in your instruction above, and I had no way to know. Adding the "uz": grub> root (hd0,5) root (hd0,5) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 grub> root (hd1,5) root (hd1,5) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 grub> kernel /boot/vmlin<tab>uz kernel /boot/vmlinuz [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3000, size=0x269760] So the "uz" makes a difference grub> kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb5 noresume splash=verbose 3 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3000, size=0x269760] grub>intrd /boot/int<tab>.img intrd /boot/int.img Error 27: Unrecognized command So it stalls here.
I just booted into Grub to test and show you a successful manual Grub run:
