So, you're saying that UUIDs are supported for root, but not for boot. That means that you can boot either kernel (2.6.32-3 or 2.6.32-5), but running lilo's map installer will fail if you use boot=/dev/sda on the 2.6.32-3 kernel and it will fail if you use boot=/dev/hda on the 2.6.32-5 kernel, right? -- .''`.
