In my experience, grub's partition numbering is more stable than /dev. hd(0,*) tends to be the device on which grub is installed, even if device numbering in /dev changes. The more tricky stuff is defining the root=3D/dev/* kernel parameter. Fortunately, starting with 2.6.37, you can use a UUID here as well (but not label, that support was removed a few years ago): http://git.kernel.org/?p=3Dlinux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=3Dco= mmitdiff;h=3Db5af921ec02333e943efb59aca4f56b78fc0e100 Regards, Florian Philipp --------------enig5618CF2EE8F3E3F96E7D1755 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6KmdoACgkQqs4uOUlOuU8RggCdF41Vl7eO+98F/qksddQyrySl 11YAn3bS+3JPAlSHiSPqtEBGvAtXpuZa =5YKF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig5618CF2EE8F3E3F96E7D1755--
