My 8.04 grub uses UUIDs.

Thanks for the thought but as I will forced kicking and screaming into 
grub2 as soon as I install 10.04 (a month or so) I would just as soon

get my current problem sorted out.

We'll find out.

On a related note *some* progress has been made. I'll report later.

Thanks again.
