The device name will differ if you use the old PATA drivers to access
IDE drives (/dev/hdx) and the new SATA drivers, which create /dev/sdx.

As far as you can boot either way (providing the right boot options),

One of guys hit this issue too. I don't know what he had to fix in
grub's menu, but I know the final fix wa in /etc/fstab, so don't
forget to have your friend update that as well.
We actually do a lot of cloning of our lab machines. We edited the
grub/fstab fields to go back to /dev/sda,

The problem you see appears only if you clone the drive to another
one. Then you only have to change the id in menu.lst and fstab.
In which case you could use labels instead of uuids. Or
