<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I hate top posting, but I have more information that Ihope might help. I tried the steps in:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">and maybe got closer to a good boot, but I'm still seeing that at some step in the boot process, it wants to find the partitions using UUID in /dev/disk-by-uuid/ or something similar.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Why on earth was this even screwed with? It's a joke in every way. In all my research I'm seeing a half dozen ways to either edit files or re-install grub2.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I'm not sure trying to boot my system by labels would even work if the UUID is correct and it can't even find that. I mean if it can't find the UUID, how the hell will it find the label?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Is there /any/ way at all to just change Grub2 to boot from /dev/sdaX? Or do I just say screw it and stick with Windows only on this netbook?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I posted an issue I was having booting a new install of F19 on my Samsung netbook. It seems that my system cannot find the disks by UUID for some reason. The way I fixed this before was to edit grub to use the device name /dev/sda5 (which
is /boot) instead of UUID. Some people replied that I needed to make sure that my system UUID matched what grub was trying to use. I've attached a copy of the UUIDs (from blkid) and from /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. I did another fresh install of F19, reformatted
the partitions again and still had the same problem. So I booted back into my LiveUSB image and pulled the data from blkid and and grub.cfg. So, what do I do now?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I noticed in the boot params there's a '--fs-uuid' switch, can I remove that and specify /dev/sda5 instead? I know so little about the newest boot process that I'm flailing here. Help!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
