I just wanted to notice that I also had to remove the UUIDS from /boot/grub/menu.lst, otherwise the wrong partition is mounted as root.
I attached my menu.lst as reference. The only bootable entry is the first one (title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic), the next two, which I left unmodified with the original UUID, try to mount / onto the wrong partition (/dev/hda9), which leads to an unusable system. ** Attachment added: "menu.lst with unbootable UUIDs" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4736886/menu.lst -- Duplicate UUIDs after Edgy update https://launchpad.net/bugs/64909 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
