Hello, and thanks in advance,
*****
INTRO/EXPLANATION:
*****
Although I have done some programming (only part-time, long ago, and in
obsolete languages)... Currently I'm just a busy user (NOT an IT
technician) and don't have the time to fully learn/understand all the
concepts in "the GNU GRUB manual".
Anyone generous enough to just answer my question (below), with a bare
minimum of assumptions and background explanation? Thank you VERY much.
It's GREATLY appreciated.
For many years my single-disk stand-alone Ubuntu 10.4 worked =fine=,
after I've tweaked it to identify hard disk drives by device specs
(/dev/sda#), instead of by UUID. (Could go into an explanation of why,
but it's solid and this email is too long already.)
Now installing latest Mint on a new box, and dusting off my old "disable
UUID" configuration notes-to-self.
I am still fine with making all the necessary relevant edits to:
/etc/default/grub
/etc/fstab
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
... and then running update-grub2

QUESTION:
*****
BUT: I'm rusty, and really need some help on =exactly= what lines to
comment out of (or edit within)...
/usr/share/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib
and (?)
/usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib
... to identify drives by device specs instead of UUID.
These files are 9.8kB, were created 11 Apr 2014 at 20:51 EST, and came
with the Mint 17 install ISO.
My best guesses are, on each of the above two files:
Comment out the section on GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK (am not using)
Comment out:
the two lines starting with if fs_uuid=
their then lines (and the subsequent then code),
their else lines (but NOT the subsequent code),
and their fi lines.
Correct guesses?
Notes: Will do this on a "scratch monkey" at first. All data very well
backed up, and off-site.
Help. Thanks!
