strange root device in menu.lst

[Björn Lindberg]

Hello, my grub menu.lst got f-d up somehow yesterday (see attached file)
I am not sure this is a grub bug or if it has something to do with
ubuntu, I did roughly the following:

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get upgrade
// changed to dapper in /etc/apt/sources.list
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get upgrade
// changed to edgy in /etc/apt/sources.list
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get upgrade

plus a lot of extra activities that that compromised the system in
ways I cannot fully comprehend, but I know for a fact that I am
probably the most clumsy linux user in the northern hemisphere ...
either way with the root device looking like this:

kernel          /boot/vmlinuz
root=UUID=97b67f92-cd3f-4c56-b376-5c898b3a88f6 ro quiet splash

rather than:

kernel          /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 ro quiet splash

Linux booted with a happy kernel panic message complaining about the
VFS not working (or something like that) ...

Have a nice day and thanks for caring / Best Regards
