Bug#548290: 2.6.30 cannot find root file system

[<mniven@trendline.co.il>]

Until this problem came up I did not know much about uuids -
things just worked. As I posted before, the problem had
disappeared by using /dev/hdax. In order to set about
recreating it I had to find out what uuid to put back in, and
using blkid discovered that my root partition had completely
lost its uuid - so it's not surprising that the kernel etc
could not find it by uuid.
Why that should have happened and what I should do about it is
another issue - suggestions ?

Thanks,

Mark Niven
