still a problem in feisty. The weired part is of kopt root=UUID=xxxxxbbsss ro 
then it will not get updated
with update-grub runs, unless one puts in kopt root=/dev/hdawhere / is mounted 
on /dev/hda it gets
over written with the UUID value, however, if one makes up some crap like

kopt root=axyaljdfljdglkj ro

it will not get updated.....


clearly what should happen is # kopt should never be modified, after all it's 
suppose to be edited by 
humans. If a human makes a mistake so be it. The program shouldn't presume to 
do something for me.

Second it could support some kind of method option, i.e., if I say kopt 
root=UUID then it will make a point
of looking up the UUID of the root device, presumably via vol_id and substitute 
that value for the various
cmdline parameters for the kernels found in /boot and not overwrite the option 
kopt!
