mount: special device /dev/hda10 does not exist

This means the device node in /dev for that partition does not exist.
Clear.
Just before that on the screen from booting is:

[/sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /home] fsck.ext3 -a -C0 /dev/hda10
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda10
/dev/hda10:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an  alternate superblock:
   e2fsck -r 8193 <device>

fsck died with exit status 8

Try running 'fsck /dev/hda10' on the Ubuntu system.
/dev/sda10: clean, 60498/507904 files, 852048/1014095 blocks

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

I didn't run fsck on /dev/hda10 on Ubuntu. I was aware that somewhere 'hd' has been changed to 'sd' at least in Ubuntu so I ran

fsck /dev/sda10

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.

There is no /dev/sda10 in my sid system.  I verified this with:

ls /dev/sd and [tab]

Thanks,

Paul
