Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 using wubi. It installed grub, which worked
fine at first.
Now, my system has a whole zoo of hard disk drives attached. For some
strange reason device enumeration sometimes changes (which is quite
unexplainable, but not a problem by itself; maybe this is caused by
adding / removing USB drives, I don't know exactly). If this happens,
Ubuntu obivously won't boot because it can't find the root disk when
denoting it as root=/dev/sdb5 (for example) in the boot loader. This
problem became especially obvious on my system, but will probably also
affect other systems if, for example, a new hard drive is being added.
Thus, I file the following wish: use root=UUID=<device_id> instead of
root=/dev/sd*. I changed this by hand in my grub config, and now it
always works fine. :]
