I have 4 PC's with nearly the same hardware and before i can transport and update a
Debian installation just by installing a tgz.
Now it can't boot because of this crazy UUID's.

You have written to me that it can be configured that this UUID's are not necessary:

"To the UUIDs: Well you don't have to use them, grub-mkconfig/update-grub
generates always `set root="(hdx,y)"' along with the `search --fs-uuid' line.
And for the kernel root= option you can set `GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true' in
/etc/default/grub and then rerun update-grub/grub-mkconfig."

The other problem is that there is less functionality in the new grub, because you
can't hide partitions any more. :-(

So where is the benefit of the new grub?
I see only problems for the users ...
