Phillip On _no_ partitions did /etc/fstab mention /dev/sdc7, or its UUID.
sdc7 didn't exist til I made it with gparted about 10 mins before I partimage-restored the 12.04 precise os. to recap, The 'copy from' (the old) partition was sdc1, UUID ~~~~898 The 'copy to' (the new) partition was sdc7, UUID changed to ~~~~000 sda7 was just a old natty narwhale OS that I tried reinstalling grub from. Does that help? I spose the big question is, where does grub2 get the uuid's for the 'search' line, vs where grub2 gets the uuid for the 'linux' line. Obviously 2 different places. search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 9d6412d7-0277-4b1e-b56e-76eb9fb7e000 linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic-pae root=UUID=9d6412d7-0277-4b1e-b56e-76eb9fb7e898 ro I've always used the old grub before, and never had this particular prob in cloning &/or restoring OS partitions. regards Garry -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012025 Title: update-grub not reading UUID's properly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1012025/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
