Andrea,

The problem isn't with UUID. It's a problem with the update-grub
program that comes from debian. Basically there is a line
in '/boot/grum/menu.1st that # kopt=root=UUID=xxxxxxxx ro

which apparently does NOT get updated when update-grub
runs. I fixed the goldenclient and now I have no problems getting
the other client to boot, i.e., Systemimager works.

Here is the bug report in Ubuntu:
