UUIDs are unfortunately only used with a freshly created menu.lst
At least the lenny version of grub-legacy's update-grub doestn't create
at all a menuentry for the /vmlinuz symlink.
In message #30 Robin said his menu.lst was updated to the lenny kernel.
So I totally fail to understand why replacing the /vmlinuz symlink with
the real kernel made his system able to boot.
