Please post the contents of your /boot/grub/menu.lst file. The code in update-grub which handles uuids runs:
case "$grub_root_device" in [^A-Za-z0-9]*) echo "root $grub_root_device" >> $buffer ;; *) echo "uuid $grub_root_device" >> $buffer ;; esac So this should always correctly output a 'uuid' line in this case instead of the 'root' line that you cited. Also, which version of the grub package do you have installed, and what locale do you use? -- update manager messes up menu.lst while updating to kernel 2.26.27-9 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312455 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
