Yes my transition worked but I was thinking about that that whether I
can to return to the previous state when not using neither UUID's nor
labels in fstab because I shall feel better then?

Now I don't know how to mount my USB Stick because line in fstab don't
works:
/dev/sda1       /media/usb0     auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

I must install usbmount to can use USB Stick.

If I can to return back to previous state of fstab than I shall change
in fstab all instances of hdaX to sdaX.

Hovewer I don't use cryptsetup. I find nothing in config-2.6.32-3-486
when search for 'hda'.
