Ben, If you look at the actual bug and chech all the files attached to it, you will see that what you are saying has nothing to do with this problem.
All the drives in /etc/fstab are already converted to be mounted from UUID strings. The problem is that the scsi driver used to drive the IDE bus doesn't work with this particular system. So, again, this bug has nothing to do with XFS and 2.6.17 kernel or the conversion to use UUIDs. All that works if I simply remove libata.ko and sd_mod.ko from the modules dir of this kernel, and rebuild the initrd (initramfs) image.
