Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: UUID problem

Well most distros have gon to grub2, except Fedora and openSuSE. There are
good reasons not to use it, but since my distro uses it I am stuck with it.
I tried installing grub legacy, but it did not help. I have never had
problems before, so can't figure why it woudl hapen now. If wiping the drive
would make it work then I would do it, but I need some assurance since a lot
of hard work will go down the drain.
