Bug#614143: os-prober: generated linux entries don't use UUIDs for root= parameter

Hi Colin, 

thank you for your response.

Well, on the other hand, the current assumption that the device files are 
named the same on debian and fedora doesn't seem to be safe either.

Perhaps it would be possible to introduce a blacklist for distros that 
don't support UUIDs? I don't think there are that many.

I didn't install the boot loader when I installed Fedora, so this isn't the 
case.
