I agree that by using UUIDs the system is stable. Perhaps this should
be classified a documentation bug. A comment at the top of the
/etc/fstab file would suffice to warn the user that unexpected results
could occur when using the more traditional /dev/sdX designations.

In the dmesg.log on this particular boot, /dev/sdc is the PATA drive
with 4 partitions (/dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc2 and /dev/sdc3 are EXT3 /dev/sdc4
is SWAP). Also, /dev/sda is a SATA drive with EXT3 partition on top of
LVM, /dev/sdb is SATA drive with simple EXT3 partition.

This method of device naming means that you always get the disk you
