I also had problems with uuid and just disabled it (you need to give the appropriate 
device file though instead, such as root=/dev/sda1). Not sure how I disabled it (not next 
to my linux box at the moment) but try looking for a uuid option under /etc/default/grub2 
or /etc/grub2 or something similar (not sure where the settings are, try looking at the 
comment at the start of /boot/grub/grub.cfg or find my earlier mail in this thread)
