Public bug reported:
After updating to Edgy, I realised I was not booting onto the right
partition, which lead to an unbootable system, until I noticed that
/etc/fstab had the same UUID for 2 different partitions. The solution
I've adopted so far is to remove the UUIDs and go back to the good ole
/dev/hd* descriptions.
Just a little background: the partitions affected by this are /dev/hda5
(where I did the upgrade to Edgy) and /dev/hda9 (where I had a copy of
my previous Dapper system). Before the upgrade, both partitions where
identical, since /dev/hda9 was simply a copy of /dev/hda5 I made with
gparted in case the upgrade went wrong. In this way I would still have
my old Dapper.
Anyway, here's the /etc/fstab generated after the upgrade to Edgy
(notice /dev/hda5 and /dev/hda9 have got the same UUIDs).
