My Asus eee 900 running debian caused me some headaches.
 
Depending on whether a usbmouse (or any other usb device, like  
webcamera turned on in bios) was attached, the disk would present 
itself to grub as either /dev/sda, /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc, witch didn't 
work very well since I had in menu.lst the line "root=/dev/sdb1".

I solved it by replacing /dev/sdb1 with the disk UUID, which I found 
in /dev/disk/by-uuid/.

Using UUID in  /boot/grub/menu.lst, /etc/fstab and /etc/uswsusp.conf 
solved all my problems, and I no longer need to remember to remove the 
usbmouse when I start the machine.

Anybody else seen this behaviour?
