The problem of pre-boot HW detection not persisting, especially across upgrades and new installs, did not begin, and probably won't end, with Linux, grub/lilo, or whatever...

While I realize that this is either painfully obvious to many, or is considered a boring minor issue, I really hope someone is tracking this to the point that they are committed to getting it working for at least 11.1=>11.2 upgrading, including either labels or UUID's and LVM2.

Huh? It works already w/ labels, via /boot/grub/device.map. Of course, one has to execute grub-install again after partition changes. This is simply part of the repartition process, just like calling fdisk or such before. No ranting makes omission of that step any less an error. Oh yes, and no rant about "grub bad, lilo good" would have made lilo automagically adapt to the new partitions either. There one has to execute lilo, just the same.
