But what happens with the next upgrade - is the wrong UUID going to be used again, and, if so, why?
That's my real worry. I've set this machine up with a failsafe bootmenu entry that won't be rewritten, but the core question is why is it using the wrong UUID, and where's it getting it from? And also, on a slightly different note, I tried to set this machine up for remote access via ssh, and found that xtra have crippled their free adsl router, stopping me from setting the necessary port forwarding up at all! Now that hacked me off big time. I suppose I'll need to reflash the router now. Steve
