Listmates,

        I am in a fist-fight with grub again most likely due to 
/dev/disk/by-uuid and 
I'm losing the battle.

        First, the situation. I'm moving and resizing partitions from an 80G 
drive to 
a 500G drive. No issues there. The partitions setup is:

/dev/sda1       WinXP
/dev/sda2       Extended
/dev/sda5       /home
/dev/sda6       /
/dev/sda7       swap
/dev/sda8       /boot

        After moving and resizing the partitions windows boot fine and Arch 
boots 
until it gets to kinit and then throws a kernel panic. I have updated the 
disk/by-uuid labels in /boot/grub/menu.lst and in /etc/fstab, but still the 
kinit error.

        As far as my grub install goes, the system boot to the grub menu and it 
is 
reading /boot/grub/menu.lst because I can boot XP from the grub menu, but not 
boot Arch.

        Gurus... What to check? Throw a brother a bone.... Where else is the 
disk 
by-uuid stuff hidden?
