Re: [LINUX_Newbies] UUID problem

Most of it is Greek to me. I tried some searching and suggested solutions,
but grub has the right UUID when compared to the UUID for the partition, so
I am a bit at a loss. I can't see why it does not find the kernel and spouts
out an error for two partitions and not for the rest.
