hello.
I already changed the UUIDs (ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -la) and I think they
are correct. And of course I already tried to edit on boot - I think 10
times at least (you can exit back2grub with "ESC"). But all this didnt
work! And my "update-grub" doesnt run properly, it detects the wrong
partitions (cause in the chroot "mount" thinks sda11 is mounted on / and
sda6 three times... I just dont know why.
