Here is how you get a uuid id:

    When you know which partitions you want to get a UUID word for you 
just do this:

sudo vol_id /dev/hda2 and it will print out this:

karl at karl-desktop:~$ sudo vol_id /dev/hda2
[sudo] password for karl:
ID_FS_USAGE=other
ID_FS_TYPE=swap
ID_FS_VERSION=2
ID_FS_UUID=4d7c4159-d00c-4069-bfb6-f9a6e153c723
ID_FS_UUID_ENC=4d7c4159-d00c-4069-bfb6-f9a6e153c723
ID_FS_LABEL=
ID_FS_LABEL_ENC=
ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE=
karl at karl-desktop:~$

    For some reason it prints out the word twice.

So do this and change both the root in menu.lst and also the listing in 
/etc/fstab. This should do it.
