Hi Felix, i don't know if it is a good idea to close this bug?
As you can see there are too much problems for the users with this UUID's! >From my point of view this is just nonsense - sorry. I have 4 PC's with nearly the same hardware and before i can transport and update a Debian installation just by installing a tgz. Now it can't boot because of this crazy UUID's. You have written to me that it can be configured that this UUID's are not necessary: "To the UUIDs: Well you don't have to use them, grub-mkconfig/update-grub generates always `set root="(hdx,y)"' along with the `search --fs-uuid' line. And for the kernel root= option you can set `GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true' in /etc/default/grub and then rerun update-grub/grub-mkconfig." The other problem is that there is less functionality in the new grub, because you can't hide partitions any more. :-( So where is the benefit of the new grub? I see only problems for the users ...
