I just edited /etc/fstab an replaced the uuid's with /dev/hd*. This
fixed my problems when I cloned a disk for two identical machines.

I think the reason that the made the change to using uuid's was for
the case where the bios or kernel does not always put multiple drives
in the same order, and hence what is hda on one bootup can become hdb
and vice versa. In my case this is not an issue because there's only
one hd in the system.
