Two partitions are sharing one UUID.
 
Here's the problem: two partitions, each on separate hard drives, share the same UUID.

System info:
2.6.20-16-generic
Kubuntu -- Feisty Fawn
no lvm or raid

I've tried to reassign UUIDs without success, and I have found no UUID tutorials that help me with this problem.

Thanks,

If you are using an EXT2/EXT3 filesystem, you can regenerate a fresh UUID on one of the drives with:

tune2fs -U random /dev/xxyz
