For me UUID does not work either. It is probably because my kernel does not have an initrd, and cannot decode the gibberish by itself.
And no, the Ubuntu kernels are not good enough. If I want a new or updated module I have to compile my own (and only then I install a different kernel - otherwise it is a waste of time). I could rebuild one of the outdated Ubuntu kernels but I still do not know how to make a kernel with an initrd. Without this kopt overwriting nonsense everything worked nicely for me. Admittedly one should be able to boot from USB sticks and such if the UUID thingy worked so it is good option to have. However, It should not be forced when the option was not so originally, and was even manually changed back. -- edgy update-grub destroys kopt https://launchpad.net/bugs/62195 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
