Well, now that you changed it to use UUIDs it doesn't matter where it came 
from. Anyway, I think it is rather strange that your devices were changed 
from sda3 to hda3. If I understand the update-grub script correctly, it 
looks for the current device name and uses that name for the new 
menu.lst. If it was previously sda3, it should be sda3 now.

You could modify the update-grub scripts of both installations - but that 
would not necessarily make it simpler.
