If you do 

blkid

you see all your UUID and the corresponding dev, UUID is a unique
identifier, this is why it is a long name.

For the kernel config, try to take your own in the /boot/config-2.6...
Try:

cp /boot/config-2.6...  .config
make menuconfig
       exit/save
make
make modules_install
make install
