Triaged to Confirmed. This bug has bitten me. It normally affects
multiple boot machines. I have Windows and 3 other Linux distros on one
machine and the UUID assignment messed up my other distros until I
relabeled partitions and reassigned /dev/hda and /dev/sda labels.
Unfortunately, this is the price of progress. The UUID system allows
expansion of disks (in RAID for example) without having to re-enumerate
drives. It also handles external drives that get moved from machine to
machine and where drive assignments change randomly due to existence of
an external drive.
The work around is simple enough, but it does throw new users for a
loop.
