I thin you need someone who knows your disto. You're likely going to
be better served on a distro-specific list.

In my case (Gentoo) the file edited to give me boot options is
/boot/grub/grub.conf which is not what you attached. I don't have the
file on my system but maybe your disto calls it something else.
Anyway, the contents of what you showed are quite different from the
way we do it on Gentoo. My grub.conf file contents for comparison:

c2RAID6 ~ # cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
default 0
timeout 15
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz


title RAID6 3.10.27-gentoo using LABEL (RAID6, md=1.2, initramfs in kernel)
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage-3.10.27-gentoo root=LABEL=RAID6root
video=vesafb vga=0x307

title RAID6 3.10.26-gentoo using LABEL (RAID6, md=1.2, initramfs in kernel)
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage-3.10.26-gentoo root=LABEL=RAID6root
video=vesafb vga=0x307


title SSD 3.8.13-gentoo using LABEL (SSD, no initramfs)
root (hd5,1)
kernel (hd5,0)/boot/bzImage-3.8.13-gentoo root=LABEL=SDDroot
video=vesafb vga=0x307

title SSD 3.8.13-gentoo using /dev/sda2 (SSD, no initramfs)
root (hd5,1)
kernel (hd5,0)/boot/bzImage-3.8.13-gentoo root=/dev/sda2 video=vesafb vga=0x307

c2RAID6 ~ #

When I build a new kernel it's just added in the manner I briefly
explained earlier.

Likely I cannot give more help.

Good luck,
Mark
