[Bug 1640878] [NEW] grub2 cannot currently generate configuration without initrd

[Chris Glass]

Public bug reported:

As it currently stands grub2 cannot create grub.cfg menu entries that do not use an initrd image if one is present but the user does not desire to use it.
Furthermore, root= entries only support UUID and LABEL, but neither is an option if booting the kernel without an initrd.

Suggestion:

Allow grub2 to create configuration files without an "initrd" line and
passing PARTUUID as root= entry by adding configuration knobs.
