Comment 20 for bug 426027

I also converted from Jaunty to Karmic and had this problem too. I have tried the work-around: replacing the UUID with /dev/sdaN which is my /home partition. One thing I want to add is that I had to reboot a few times before the machine (Dell Latitude D810) would boot. It is curious that there is no /dev/sda1 symlink in the /dev/disk/by-uuid directory; nor is there a UUID value shown in gparted.

AT least I have a working machine ... phew!
