True. Well, suffice it to say that the /dev/disks symlink tree *does*

Nope. GPT assigns UUIDs to the partitions, but that's all - the kernel
still deals only with traditional device names (sda1, sda2, etc). The
initramfs is still needed t

I got it to work! Turns out that the root file system changes to /dev/sdc1
after all the harddisks are found so changing the line root=/dev/sda1 to

Hello all,
