I was upgrading from 2.6.20-11-generic which was the one that got
installed on Thu Mar 15 08:03:07 when I did a dist-upgrade from edgy to
feisty. On that upgrade I didn't notice any error related to the kernel.

Was a normal upgrade ussing the command:
apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade

That UUID stuff doesn't appear in the reiserfs partitions and in the
chroot mounts; but *does* appear in the rest of my fstab entries (you
can check it in the fstab file I submitted yesterday as attachment).

Thank you for your feedback
