All the references Google can find for me say that you have to use a

root=PARTUUID=partition-uuid.
Does the root=PARTUUID option work for you?

As Neil alluded to, you can use UUID with MBR (instead of PARTUUID and
GPT). I have DOS/MBR

I can't think why any sane person would do otherwise. Who in their right
