Your bug report indicates that you are using the grub1 package, which
has not been supported for new installs since before 14.04. Please
upgrade to grub2 by installing the grub-pc package, and if you still
experience problems, file a bug against that package.
** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Won't Fix

Title:
update-grub overenthusiastically places root=UUID=XXX (xenial)
Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
The xenial initramfs will not mount the root partition using the
UUID=XXX format when the root drive is mapped (e.g., through a LVM).
update-grub builds its menu.lst file with kernel command line parameters for root= as, e.g.,
kernel /vmlinuz-4.4.0-16-generic root=UUID=2dddd69e-e70b-45c2-a262-abcdabcdabcdabcd ro quiet splash
Solution is to change UUID to /dev/mapper format, e.g.,
kernel /vmlinuz-4.4.0-16-generic root=/dev/mapper/mylvm-root ro quiet splash
by changing the kopt line in /boot/grub/menu.lst and re-running update-grub.
Note: tested with /etc/fstsab using /dev/mapper/ mount points.
(Upgraded from wily -> xenial.)
