It's subtle, but that's probably why the parameter is called
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID and not GRUB_DISABLE_UUID.
>From the docs:
'GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID'
Normally, 'grub-mkconfig' will generate menu entries that use
universally-unique identifiers (UUIDs) to identify the root
filesystem to the Linux kernel, using a 'root=UUID=...' kernel
parameter. This is usually more reliable, but in some cases it may
not be appropriate. To disable the use of UUIDs, set this option
to 'true'.
Cheers,
David.
