Comment 41 for bug 6367

I'd like to echo Edward's comments. I found the discussion on the forums and since it went on for 11 pages I assumed that this was not a known issue. If it was a known issue then shouldn't it have been listed in the Release Notes somewhere. I couldn't find anything.
So, now that we're here is there a workaround that can be posted somewhere. I saw the note about using UUID in menu.lst, but I have to edit /etc/fstab as well. Can something similar be used there?
