Judging by fstab in Feisty (old) OS, the swap (/dev/sda6) id was:

# /dev/sda6
UUID=e971928e-487d-469b-823a-062cf5b39738 none            swap    sw            
  0       0

whereas, "sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda6"  now gives:
4b7543af-65a7-4e9f-a52b-8868e82914cf

But actually, the problem may be different or larger. Even though I
changed my fstab so that it doens't use the id, but rather the name
/dev/sda6, Feisty still doesn't boot.  It points me to /var/log/checkfs,
which says:

Oh, I see. that's the root partition of Gutsy(beta). So that was also
reformatted, and its UID also apparently changed, and so now Feisty
cannot mount it.  So, in case it helps, the old UUID for /dev/sda8,
which is not Gutsy's root, is above in the log, but it was changed
during install to:

sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda8
07e81610-3fc0-4918-8ce3-836eb78c3c89


Summary: both the swap and the new / partition were formatted during Gutsy 
install and had their UUIDs changed, which seems undesirable.
