So is there some sort of conversion in the initrd converting from the UUId to something conventional like /dev/sdb2, and if so why doesn't just substituting /dev/sdb2 not work.<br></blockquote><div><br>Because, as Tony stated, the root partition is identified by its UUID. <br>

Because the GRUB stanza you copied to boot F11 says:<br>
<br>
    root=UUID=7ba6f364-68c2-4dad-a54e-18c3464b0eb5<br>
<br>
</div>That is, it says root is identified by its UUID.<br>
