try the below grub.cfg if your boot partition is same as root partition.
set default=0
set timeout=3
insmod ext2
menuentry "Default" {
set uuid=d768c1f0-79c9-45c4-b604-8d0735a71242
search.fs_uuid ${uuid} root
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.10.28 root=UUID=${uuid} rootfstype=ext4 ro rootdelay=6
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.10.28
}
