Re: booting fedora 11 from a fedora 10 grub?

[James Allsopp <jamesaallsopp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So is there some sort of conversion in the initrd converting from the UUId to something conventional like /dev/sdb2, and if so why doesn't just substituting /dev/sdb2 not work.

Because the GRUB stanza you copied to boot F11 says:

   root=UUID=7ba6f364-68c2-4dad-a54e-18c3464b0eb5

That is, it says root is identified by its UUID.
