Sure enough, /etc/default/grub does have the entry: ========= # Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter # to Linux #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true ========= Removing it and running update-grub does indeed remove the UUID from the Linux boot command line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg: ========= menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.30-1-686" { set root=(hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 8946a06a-195e-4e5d-ba10-5ebc16dbf84b linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-1-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-1-686 ========= However, I still get the error when trying to boot that device 8946a06a-195e-4e5d-ba10-5ebc16dbf84b is not found. So I press "e" to edit, and remove the entire "search" line. When I do that, the system boots just fine. The result of all this is that the UUID in the "search" line is what is now giving the error. So now to get the UUID out of the "search" line. Any suggestions?
