questions on /etc/default/grub

i'm currently switching from syslinux to grub2 due to lack of support with xen and lvm/luks and just general information that i have a massive headache from googling for hours about.

anyways, i'm configuring grub very cautiously because i would prefer a simple reboot in opposition to having to stick a live cd in and unlock and mount all my partitions and do all this messy work.

is it possible to configure all options designating kernel, initrd, and kernel parameters from the "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" variable and its friends?

i know that i can configure grub.cfg by hand but i would much rather prefer to do it from /etc/default/grub

i use lvm on luks and i'm setting up my arch installation as a dom0

any help?

Re: questions on /etc/default/grub

You don't need to specify the kernel and initrd if you are going to have grub generate the configuration automatically - just the kernel parameters.

Please read the wiki. The documentation on this is excellent.
