i am trying the grub configuration file "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" in the kernel line, set "root=UUID=" instead "root=/dev/"

for example when i ran :

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg contain :

menuentry 'Slackware-14.2 GNU/Linux' --class slackware-14.2 --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-1c07b419-4a08-4326-b4c4-fd9ac9cce46e' { load_video set gfxpayload=keep insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd0,msdos1' if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos1 59774ae4-7b95-4aee-a16f-40e9adc3c4db else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 59774ae4-7b95-4aee-a16f-40e9adc3c4db fi echo 'Loading Linux 4.4.111 ...' linux /vmlinuz-huge-4.4.111 root=/dev/sda3 ro splash quiet nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1024x768-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap }

i am trying to the grub-mkconfig, generate in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, the follow contain (just change the root=/dev/sda3 for root=UUID=)

menuentry 'Slackware-14.2 GNU/Linux' --class slackware-14.2 --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-1c07b419-4a08-4326-b4c4-fd9ac9cce46e' { load_video set gfxpayload=keep insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd0,msdos1' if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos1 59774ae4-7b95-4aee-a16f-40e9adc3c4db else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 59774ae4-7b95-4aee-a16f-40e9adc3c4db fi echo 'Loading Linux 4.4.111 ...' linux /vmlinuz-huge-4.4.111 root=UUID=1c07b419-4a08-4326-b4c4-fd9ac9cce46e ro splash quiet nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1024x768-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap }

i get the info from blkid

blkid | grep sda3 /dev/sda3: LABEL="2Slackware64" UUID="1c07b419-4a08-4326-b4c4-fd9ac9cce46e" UUID_SUB="3ec2cd19-212c-42e4-9630-8c5c2baa3250" TYPE="btrfs" PARTUUID="000cb1e8-03"

i try modifing the files :

/etc/grub.d/10_linux /usr/share/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib /etc/default/grub

but i dont find the way for set default the generation of instead when i use the grub-mkconfig tool for generate my /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Reset to default

my file /etc/default/grub content :

# If you change this file, run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg # afterwards to update /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
