More UUID madness

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?

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!

Thanks.

Mark
