Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub

I am running grub 0.97-29ubuntu21 on Hardy

My root device is /dev/loop1, and I am setting this in the kopt= line in
menu.lst but update-grub tries to resolve this to a UUID, which means I
can't boot

This patch will disable converting /dev/loop entries to UUID entries,
and causes it to work for me again:
