Hi everyone, I upgraded grub to grub2 (squeeze) and at first I couldn't boot my linux kernel (2.6.32), which work fine with the old grub. The boot process stopped with the following messages: "VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)".
After some research, I figured that the root fs is not set correctly in / boot/grub/grub.cfg. The root fs was defined with a uuid string, which I confirmed as correct. After altering the uuid string to /dev/sda2, linux would boot normally. Since grub.cfg is not supposed to be edited, I added to /etc/default/grub (thanks to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2): # Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to # Linux GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID="true" and then ran `update-grub`. I thought this might be helpful for others running into the same problem. Also, any idea why the (again: correct) uuid string didn't work? I have two other systems with a similar set-up and defining the root fs with uuid works just fine.
