It's really a security feature to make sure that you don't have multiple instances of the same UUID booting.. IMO, the ext4 part should do the same but does now.

You could try this format above using the uuid you want to see if it would work, I never tried to restore with the exact same uuid, it may be possible. I'll test this as well

You should be able to restore your own .fsa's with same UUID.

Recent updates now allow this to happen. Not sure when it started, but you can now install on same machine with same uuid on it elsewhere

General Support / Re: (SOLVED) Alert! Root UUID ...
Last post by VastOne - August 21, 2024, 01:18:03 AM
Solved! The workaround was as followed which layed out here by Ash Joubert and within a chroot settings I did exactly as Ash said

Workaround was to boot from an older kernel/initrd, manually download the previous packages, downgrade to them, and then hold them.

dpkg -i kmod_32+20240611-1_amd64.deb libkmod-dev_32+20240611-1_amd64.deb libkmod2_32+20240611-1_amd64.deb
apt-mark hold kmod libkmod-dev libkmod2
I am now booted back into the nvme system. This shows how important it is to search for the exact messages which I got when I ran update-initramfs -k 6.10.4-amd64 -u in chroot and it showed the KMOD5 errors.

Thanks, that is the end of my TED speech for tonight, thank you all for attending

Found the issue but not the answer here. I need to somehow down grade LIBKMOD_5 in a chroot setting
