Unusual problem in kernel upgrade in grub UUID

FWIW ::grub wiki shows a forward slash in the grub line for UUID at the beginning of the UUID data.

The grub generated by the new kernel linux-3.0-1 inserts an equals sign.  This user is not aware if all downloads provide this difference.

With the equals sign, my UUID was not recognized for the root partition.

After inserting the forward slash, the system booted correctly into kde desktop.

This change was necessary for both arch linux boot and fallback boot.

I also had to change the grub menu.lst kernel line to make it permanent and the same for the fallback kernel line in grub menu.lst.

With the equals sign in the grub kernel line my boots produced an error message::::unable to determine major-minor number of root device.......

Perhaps this info will help others in upgrading .

EDIT:  My system is x86_64
