startup problem I think with fstab

[dcihon]

Startup is hanging with the following message:
A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2uuid-734xxxx-xxx-xxxxx-xxxx (I didn't include all the numbers here)
Here is my fstab file and my Grub file contents if this helps.

# 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).

That didn't work.
Same problem.
Also I didn't mention that at the end of it trying to boot I have to hit control-d and then it lets me login.
If that helps.

[debiman]

please check if the UUIDs in fstab are correct.
i think 'sudo blkid' will give you that info.

To follow up on what debiman just said, I'd replace the UUID with actual device nodes instead to see what happens.
