Yes, this works. I really had edited the line for /dev/hda by hand, because I formatted the partition with a new fs and the old UUID did not work any more.
I do not know whether, by throwing away the UUID, I did anything "evil" in the sense of Ubuntu, anything I should not do. If so, maybe a big warning in the /etc/fstab would be in order, because I think that many people like me are have been editing their /etc/fstab by hand since years and do not know what this UUID stuff is about, so they just throw it away. -- 2.6.20-12 fails to boot on an IBM T21 https://launchpad.net/bugs/94509 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
