I had done this from the start (see the original post), otherwise I could have not booted up. Not only I had to edit /etc/fstab but also /boot/grub/menu.lst, otherwise the wrong kernel would be loaded.

So from what I understand, once the UUID generation goes wrong, there is no way to "regenerate" proper UUIDs and the only option is to forget the UUIDs altogether and use /dev/hdXY. Is that right?
