error on sid laptop: ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/493.....085 does not exist.
I've recently been unable to boot into my thinkpad x200s because
of this error: ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/493....085b does not exist. Dropping
to a shell!
Most of the Google results are of users changin out disks or partitions and
the UUID get messed up. I haven't switched any disks or messed with any
partitions.
Mounted the disk on desktop to grab the grub.cfg and fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=493046dc-a036-499a-8e17-33f19a65085b / ext3

# /home was on /dev/sda6 during installation

/dev/sdb1 /media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
I'd figure I'd ask the list first before I royally screw something up. Any
suggestions?
