Swap.
Which was installed last, Squeeze, or Jessie? You can expect this
message trying to boot the earlier installed installation after
having done the later install. Unless you take affirmative action
to deny it, an existing swap partition used by the earlier
installation will be reformatted by the later installation.
Reformatting creates a new UUID, thus making the UUID referring
to it in the earlier installation's fstab invalid. The earlier
needs to have its fstab edited to use the correct swap partition
UUID, or volume label, or device name, if swap is actually
desired or needed.
There may be some subtle problems still lurking somewhere which
show up only for people like me doing many installs of *nearly*
identical systems.
Commenting out the line in /etc/fstab DID allow it to boot
without warning messages.
However,taking into account Darac's comments, does this now mean
that the machines are now operating without a swap partition?
IIRC the current instance of Jessie on the laptop was the
chronologically the last OS installed so by the comments in this
thread should not have had the problem. The laptop is my
designated "Guinea pig" so I'll do a fresh install to see if
problem persists.
