I have a 500 GB hard drive that I use to install distros for testing purposes. I am having trouble with two partitions. I have Fedora 14, LMDE, OpenSuSE 11.4 and Ubuntu Natty installed. I have grub written to the drive (sdg) MBR and not the MBR of sda. Here is the problem, Fedora and LMDE load fine, but openSuSE and Natty do not. I get an error there is no string-of-alphanumerics for the UUID and it can't find the kernel. These are new partitions and can't understand why the UUIDs would mess up.
I have tried two grubs, one generated by Kubuntu on sda and one generated by LMDE on the MBR of the drive where it is not working. OpenSuSE's grub is useless. It keeps on writing to sda despite my telling it not to and then I need to use the Kubuntu CD to fix the problem. Fedora uses grub legacy and does not poll the drivers for other kernels, so it works, but only recognises Fedora which is no help. I am willing to delete partitions and start over, but that has not worked thus far. How do I fix it by either fixing grub on the drives in question or generating a UUID that will work? I thought that Gparted would fix the problem, but it did not, despite destroying the partitions and creating new ones. The UUIDs created by Gparted are different from the previous ones, but they still give an error.
