Starting with grub-2.04, a new option GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_PARTUUID was added and defaulted to 'true'. This option prevents GRUB from sending root=PARTUUID=... to the kernel when an initramfs is not available. This request is to update grub.default-3 to include the option and default it to false. When a system is not using an initramfs to boot, booting by PARTUUID is the most reliable way to boot a system. All supported versions of gentoo-sources support booting by Partition UUID. The compatibility concerns which upstream had that resulted in the option being disabled by default are not applicable to Gentoo. Reproducible: Always
