This is my line in grub 1 menu.lst:

Because there it is the *kernel* which does the reading, not grub. No matter that you thing that you need udev, it is obviously working.
The kernel, that vmlinux (which leads to the initrd on my system) has other smarts as well. My grub2 menu line has /vmlinuz-3.11.10-101.g966c1cc-desktop root=/dev/mapper/vgmain-vROOT resume=/dev/disk/by-label/SWAP splash=silent quiet showopts Note that "/dev/mapper". Smarts to deal with LVM. I betcha some people out there have kernels smart enough to boot from RAID! "They said it couldn't be done ...."
