5 I have a LUKS-encrypted system, GPT partitions, no UEFI, systemd, dracut, btrfs.
6
7 I always manually create a /boot/grub/grub.cfg configuration file without using the grub-mkconfig command:
8
9 timeout=-1
10 menuentry 'Linux-libre 5.1.15' {
11 linux /@i3/vmlinuz-5.1.15-gnu rd.luks.uuid=luks-e384faa4-d3ad-4171-b38e-8961bddab43f root=UUID=90a73cbd-f378-4424-93d9-661cbfec9e5a rootfstype=btrfs rootflags=subvol=@i3 init=/lib/systemd/systemd quiet loglevel=3 rd.vconsole.keymap=it
12 initrd /@i3/initramfs-5.1.15-gnu.img
13 }
14
15 It is pretty simple compared to what grub-mkconfig usually generates, and it works pretty well.
