No glitches at all with the 27 other distros, including LL3.0, all installed on a single 1TB HDD on a Dell D630 laptop - they all boot perfectly (following selection from the grubscreen) and work normally, except LL2.8. All the operating systems I've used are 64-bit.
As mentioned in the first post of this thread, LL3.0 was the last-installed OS (and boots fine), LL2.8 was the second-to-last-installed OS (which did boot perfectly, until I installed LL3.0 alongside it). Grub was updated previously with 'sudo update-grub' but didn't help with LL2.8 booting. When I select LL2.8 from the grubscreen I get the following message:
Pressing any key to continue doesn't appear to fix the problem: it just returns me to the grubscreen list of operating sytems.
In general, I've noticed that LL only works, i.e. boots normally, if it is the last OS that's been installed in any dual-boot or multiple-boot set-up.

64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
