New evidence it's a power problem:
if I plug the additional USB power cable into the laptop, the ext
disk works (very) intermittently.
HOWEVER, if I plug the USB data cable in the laptop and the additional
USB power cable
into a desktop computer, the laptop IS able to start GRUB. I tried
three times and got
100% success.
How can I solve the problem of the insufficient power (assuming this
is really what's going on?) other than plugging the power cable into
another computer
(which clearly defeats the point of having a laptop in the first
place).
Get a powered USB hub.
Thanks. As soon as I posted the last post I realized that a powered
USB hub had to
exist, so I went out and bought one. Duh. Now everything works.
