I hit this during upgrade. The missing UUID is my /home partition, so it was not a fun upgrade. (Thread: http://
I used a kludge to proceed. The stray UUID in my fstab has been replaced by the path /dev/sda1.
=Karmic LiveCD=
Palimpsest shows the partition as "Unrecognized".
GParted shows the partition as normal, although without a mount point listed.
Nautilus shows /home as empty.
'lshw' shows sda1 and the correct UUID.
=Karmic install=
Palimpsest shows the partition as "Unrecognized".
GParted shows the partition as normal, with correct mount point.
Nautilus shows /home correctly.
'lshw' shows sda1 and the correct UUID.
Install boots after showing this error:
One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted:
/home: waiting for /dev/sda1
/home/o/Thorax_B: waiting for /dev/disk/
/home/o/Thorax_A: waiting for /dev/disk/

Originally it showed this error and did not boot:
One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted:
/home: waiting for UUID=2500e823[etc]
/home/o/Thorax_B: waiting for /dev/disk/
/home/o/Thorax_A: waiting for /dev/disk/

This bug might be a duplicate of bug 428435. Can you check the output of:
sudo blkid /dev/sda1
or you might get more detailed output from the following:
$ sudo su -
# BLKID_DEBUG=0xffff blkid
Thanks in advance.
