I had the problem re-occur with todays upgrade to 2.4.16.18. despite the fact /etc/blkid.tab had the correct entries. This led me to investigate the matter in more detail. I think I SOLVED it as a non-bug.
Here is what I found I noticed that the "kopt" and "groot" options in my /boot/grub/menu.lst still had the invalid "hd" and "UUID" options. (The fact that a "#" appears at the beginning does not mean that these are commented out. Apparently you need a "##" for comments) relevant diff: < # kopt=root=UUID=11364fdf-db87-4d3c-a385-0d710cba8a8f ro //correct --- > # kopt=root=UUID=824f1f6c-3d18-4cac-84b3-12d3a5867e4c ro // incorrect 74c74 < # groot=(hd0,0) //correct --- > # groot=(hd0,7) // incorrect Simply deleting menu.lst and running update-grub will generate a new menu.lst with the correct "kopt" and "groot" options. Please note that you probably will want to edit the new menu.lst. An pre-existing menu.lst with the INCORRECT kopt and kgroot options will trigger the reported problems. and a menu.lst with CORRECT options behaves as expected. In my case, I should have modified/deleted menu.lst after transferring the system from one HD to the other. I therefore think this is NOT A BUG and suggest closing this bug report. -- wrong UUID in menu.lst after upgrade to hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
