Blink. Why were your UUIDs unstable? They're meant to be set in filesystem superblocks. -- /etc/default/grub cannot disable use of UUID https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/499483 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. --

But GRUB is not intrinsically limited to using the BIOS for this. If we got to the point of being able to use ata.mod across the board, or even just detected the problem and used ata.mod when necessary, it wouldn't matter what the BIOS supported. -- /etc/default/grub cannot disable use of UUID

Colin, isn't this the cause of this bug? the issue found with the UUID is because of the bioses not being able to support booting off a device 137GB the whole discussion was that if by disabling the UUID altogether by setting a variable in the grub defaults file this could be circumvented

We really need to fix such bugs instead of working around them. Hardcoding device names is responsible for literally hundreds of other open bug reports, and the only way to fix this is to use a more dynamic approach throughout. Sergei, I hope there's a separate bug report filed for the problem

I would also be in favor of adding this feature DISABLE_GRUB_SEARCH_ALTOGETHER=true (or whatever name you choose), as described and suggested in the very first message of this thread by Eskild. Rationale: if your BIOS does not support large (137GB ;) disks then Grub gets stuck unable to search

Hello Felix I think you might have read this bug report a bit fast... This is actually for the kernel root= parameter. What I'm trying to point out, is that in order to use grub2 without UUID on file systems, the proposed solution will work great. File system UUID is a sure way to get into
