Hi,

First of all my apologies if this is the wrong medium to post my
question, this was most appropriate medium I could find. 

I wonder  if it is possible (and if so how) to to define a (real_)root
device in grub.conf for a /dev/disk/by-id/. I know it's possible for
uuid but uuid also keeps renaming my harddrives whereas /dev/disk/by-id
works fine. Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Aniruddha
