Maybe are they not overwritten because I use UUID to boot.

For both kernels:

    $ sudo udevinfo --export-db
    bash: udevinfo: command not found

and `apt-cache search udevinfo` gives no output.

Under 2.6.33.3:

    $ ls /dev/disk -l
    ls: cannot access /dev/disk: No such file or directory

Under 2.6.37:

    $ ls /dev/disk -l
