Title:
OS prober chooses /dev/sdX notation when UUIDs requested
Status in “os-prober” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: os-prober
OS prober insists on identifying one of my installations by /dev/sdXY
notation, even though it's told to use UUIDs.
All the rest of them are correctly identified by UUID.
Here is the grub.cfg file.
