Bug#852323: debian-installer: grub-installer not convert root= entry to UUID
Hi guys.
I can confirm that this bug in fact occurs. I am using the official
netinst media (debian-9.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso, MD5:
fdf1905e3fa321e0b930e47bcbc4d1e2) to install a Dell R730 server --
which will be used as a Xen virtualization host -- all the VMs in the
virtualization structure.
I *all* cases -- physic and virtual machines -- the installation
finishes without any reference to UUIDs in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. If I
only run 'update-grub' the 'root=' clauses are updated to use UUIDs.
Additionally, the /etc/fstab appears to be correctly configured with
the UUIDs, as one would expect.
