HouHongxun is right, the search lines ARE meaningful for LFS, as GRUB uses them to find where the root partition is. I use an Initramfs, but it's still meaningful. So, the description should be reworked to:
"The search lines are used by GRUB to find the root partition where the kernel is located. Therefore, they should not be commented out." - -- William Immendorf Sent from Mutt 1.5.20.
