I have to apologize: Please ignore this error report! After studying the different menu.lst more carefully I think that I found the reason for this behavior, and it is basically my own fault:
I found the following (inappropriate) lines in the menu.lst on one of the partitions that produced the wrong uuid-numbers. ## default kernel options ## default kernel options for automagic boot options ## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z ## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted. ## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro ## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro ## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro # kopt=root=UUID=6574fd38-cc2b-4137-89ad-6790234a7328 ro ## default grub root device ## e.g. groot=(hd0,0) # groot=6339b283-19ff-41fa-b65d-355724881e1e Apparently, I had at some point copied the file menu.lst from one partition to another, and this resulted in the wrong options.
