Bug Description
After updating to Edgy, I realised I was not booting onto the right partition, which lead to an unbootable system, until I noticed that /etc/fstab had the same UUID for 2 different partitions. The solution I've adopted so far is to remove the UUIDs and go back to the good ole /dev/hd* descriptions.
Just a little background: the partitions affected by this are /dev/hda5 (where I did the upgrade to Edgy) and /dev/hda9 (where I had a copy of my previous Dapper system). Before the upgrade, both partitions where identical, since /dev/hda9 was simply a copy of /dev/hda5 I made with gparted in case the upgrade went wrong. In this way I would still have my old Dapper.
Anyway, here's the /etc/fstab generated after the upgrade to Edgy (notice /dev/hda5 and /dev/hda9 have got the same UUIDs).
