GRUB 2 always uses UUIDs except for LVM devices or if GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true is set in /etc/default/grub. GRUB Legacy only uses UUIDs when menu.lst is freshly created on a lenny system or if you change the kopt parameter yourself and then run update-grub. The Debian-Installer team has an UUID goal for Squeeze: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/SqueezeGoals -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
