Steve, >From my understanding of the patches, they are to do with grub-update identifying the disk by examining /dev/disk/by-uuid. This is different to my set of patches which do UUID identification at boot time inside the boot loader (my code uses raw BIOS reads of the underlying filesystem and some uuid magic via the uuid library borrowed from udev).
>From what I can understand from the message in http://www.nabble.com /UUID-support-in-GRUB-td17586784.html the boot from uuid part is not yet implemented in grub-0.9x. It appears there is some experimental UUID support in grub2 that would needs to be back ported to 0.9x -- which could be as unpleasant as writing it from scratch.
