    Exclamation Grub2 Not Passing Parameters to Kernel

    I have installed grub2 on a flash drive to boot some os's that I want to carry around. But in grub.cfg when i put this:

    Code:
    menuentry "BackTrack Persistent" {
	set gfxpayload=1024x768
	
	linux	/backtrack/boot/vmlinuz BOOT=casper boot=casper persistent rw quiet 
	initrd	/backtrack/boot/initrd.gz
}
    it does exactaly the same thing as this

    Code:
    menuentry "BackTrack Persistent" {
	set gfxpayload=1024x768
	
	linux	/backtrack/boot/vmlinuz
	initrd	/backtrack/boot/initrd.gz
}
    Grub is not passing parameters for some reason.

    I'm thinking of filing a bug report but I want to make sure i'm not doing something wrong first.

    GRUB2 uses options defined in /etc/default/grub folder only.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    I'm sorry but I believe that you are mistaken. I believe that when you run 'update-grub' it takes that file and uses it to create /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

    Also when I edit this file the menu shows as expected.
