Why?

UUID's are the more reliable way to know which partition you are booting. Grub's menu actually use hdX,Y as the default and then a search on drive by UUID.

Yes, but I use a sort of ghost (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_%28software%29)

So, when I redeploy my image on a new computer, the UUID change ! I do not want to reinstall Grub on every computer. Have you got a solution for that ?

I have a partition fort windows and an other for linux

reinstalling grub-pc is very easy (uuids are the default)

but look at link below to use labels

I have resolve my problem by decomenting #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID="true"

and regenerating the grub config file

Thanks
