Public bug reported:
This bug is connected to bug #145753 in which my partitions were
spontaneously renumbered and their uuids changed, so that /dev/hde6
(root partition) and /dev/hde5 (swap) became /dev/hde5 and /dev/hde6
respectively.
On upgrading to Gutsy I found that grub kept giving me error 17. It
turned out that it was now trying to boot from hd(0,5) (i.e. /dev/hde6 -
it's on the second ata bus)), rather than hd(0,4). The uuid for the root
partition was wrong as well. I presume that what had ended up in
menu.lst was the correct one from before the spontaneous renumbering.
The uuids for / and swap in /etc/fstab were still correct. In other
words grub ended up configured in a way that would have worked before
the spontaneous renumbering, but won't work now.
Please make this a high priority. Issues like this are blockers.
