I was playing with Debian Stable yesterday and I noticed that grub2 in
Lucid would not use UUIDs for its menu entries.

Lucid also uses /dev/sdX notation. Since Debian uses /dev/hdX for IDE
drives, the entries are unusable and I had to create a custom
workaround.

The problem arises with Hardy (2.6.24) and Debian Stable (2.6.26), but
not with Debian Testing (2.6.32 and 2.6.30)

Does this have something to do with older kernels or libraries, perhaps?
