Until this problem came up I did not know much about uuids - things just worked. As I posted before, the problem had disappeared by using /dev/hdax. In order to set about recreating it I had to find out what uuid to put back in, and using blkid discovered that my root partition had completely lost its uuid - so it's not surprising that the kernel etc could not find it by uuid. Why that should have happened and what I should do about it is another issue - suggestions ?
