This means the device node in /dev for that partition does not exist.

It is interesting if you actually ran 'fsck /dev/hda10' and got output for 
/dev/sda10 (h versus s).

I don't recall seeing the output of 'fdisk -l' on the sid system; perhaps it 
would list disk sda instead of hda.

Try 'mount /dev/sda10 /home' on the sid system.  If that works, change hda10 in 
/etc/fstab to sda10.
