Time and time again, I see people recommending to change something in grub.cfg. This is a BAD IDEA. DON'T DO IT.
You can add custom entries through one of the files in /etc/grub.d/ or change default settings in /etc/default/grub
I know you might hate to read, but seriously... read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 I mean it.. really READ it.
You will realize that GRUB2 isn't really the devil, it actually makes things easier if you know how to use it properly. Everything you will probably need to know is in that link to the documentation. I can't stress enough though.. DO NOT EDIT GRUB.CFG!!! If you ever update your kernel, your changes WILL be lost. If you ever manually run update-grub, YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST. If you are stuck, and need help.. that documentation link above will seriously save your ass.
Do NOT ever edit grub.cfg

Re: Do NOT ever edit grub.cfg
Meh.. Sometimes it's easier to just make a quick change to grub.cfg and be done with it. Especially if additional boot commands need to be passed at the time of booting. As long as you remember to make the changes if you update anything, it's no big thing.
