address@hidden GRUB_ENABLE_LINUX_PARTUUID
+Normally, when @command{grub-mkconfig} sets the @samp{root=UUID=...} kernel
+parameter, it selects a filesystem UUID.  This works well for Linux systems 
that
+boot using an initramfs as most implementations support mounting the root
+filesystem this way.  However for Linux systems that do not boot using an
+initramfs, @command{grub-mkconfig} defaults to setting the @samp{root=...}
+kernel parameter to the device name containing the root filesystem.  Setting
+this option to @samp{true} changes the behavior of @command{grub-mkconfig} so
+that it identifies the device containing the root filesystem by the partition
+UUID.  In order to use the @samp{root=PARTUUID=...} kernel parameter, the Linux
+kernel version must be at least 2.6.37 (3.10 for systems using the MSDOS
+partition scheme).
+
 @item GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY
 If this option is set to @samp{true}, disable the generation of recovery
 mode menu entries.
