The Slackware generic kernel won't boot without an initrd. I've never needed to manually edit grub files for this; the grub-mkconfig works it out if you name the files sensibly (I suppose, it may find them some other way).
On booting, grub will only read your configuration from /boot/grub/grub.cfg
You are supposed to make any changes inside /etc/grub.d and /etc/default/grub, and then run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg to update grub.cfg |
I had thought a grub user would know to do so, but I'll update the README to mention that you'll have to run grub-mkconfig for the change to have any effect.
Documentation should be clear, and I guess that wasn't.
