I am really thankful to you. > Sorry to hijack your thread, but I thought this is the most opportune time to ask my query. @Prasad Nice to know that this suggestion solved the issue. I too have found this issue very irritating but could never understand by UUID were not recognized (where as my distro kernel recognizes them very well). a. Does any have any idea which component causes this issue. As to, what am I missing while compiling a new kernel that it doesn't recognize the UUID of a dev disk? b. Also, who generates these UUID - is it a disk property (like, ROM signature or stuff?), or this is some udev magic? Thanks to anyone who can provide any hint about this. - Shreyansh _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
