Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
After upgrading several packages, including the linux kernel image, it
appears the UUID of at least the root partition, and possibly others,
has been changed automatically. As a result, grub's booting fails and
drops to a shell. From this shell, it is not possible to edit
/etc/fstab to correct the issue. I have to boot from a live CD to edit
/boot/grub/menu.lst and change it to use root=/dev/hdXN devices instead
of UUIDs. I know this because I had to figure it out the last time this
happened.
>From the perspective of an average user, their computer would have been
utterly crippled after a simple software update. The fact that total
show-stopping bugs such as this make it through not just once, but
repeatedly, is indicative of serious issues. Perhaps bug #1 should be
resolved as "won't fix."
