Nothing to do with UUID's, your barking up the wrong tree there.

Tell me how your partitions and hard drives are organized.  Do you have
only one hard dive as sda?  What partions are your root and boot on?
How were you able to check your menu.lst if you can't boot?

If I get a clear picture in my head of how your system is set up, I can
show you the exact commands to fix it.
