Maybe are they not overwritten because I use UUID to boot.

For both kernels:
$ sudo udevinfo --export-db
bash: udevinfo: command not found
and `apt-cache search udevinfo` gives no output.
> Also see if you can find your partitions in /dev/disk/.
Under 2.6.33.3:
$ ls /dev/disk -l
ls: cannot access /dev/disk: No such file or directory
Under 2.6.37:
