Thanks for your quick response. The problem is that udev keeps changing my harddrive names at each boot. Normally my root partition resides on /dev/sdc2. However with each reboot this name changes (the last three boots it changed from /dev/sdb2 to /dev/sdf2 to /dev/sdc2). I solved this partially by changing the /dev/sdc2 entry in fstab with a /dev/disk/by-id/my_device_id entry. Unfortunately grub has still /dev/sdc2 configured as root partition. This means I have to guess every boot which partition-name the root partition resides. I do this by entering devices names (after the error message that grub couldn't find my root partition). I start with /dev/sda2 trying each letter (sdb2, sdc2, sdd2) until I find the root partition. In order to solve this problem I would like to set the /dev/disk/by-id/ parameter in my grub.conf. I hope that explains the problem clearly. Thanks in advance!
