Ok thanks to Vladimir on IRC I got it now. But I don't think it's a good idea to use root=UUID= if /dev/disk/by-uuid doestn't exist at all. The only case I can imagine where this would work, would be booting from a livecd, chrooting to the installed system, which still has the disk devices in the static dev so you don't need to bind mount /dev. But that should be only a one time situation. If in the then booted system /dev/disk/by-uuid still doesn't exist, I don't think the initrd supports root=UUID= and then every boot would fail as long as GRUB_LINUX_DISABLE_UUID=true isn't set. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer and GNU GRUB developer _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
