Perhaps there is an entry, or a missing entry, in grubs configuration file. Have you tried to use /dev/sda2 instead of the UUID in /etc/fstab? Do you know if the other drive does work? I have seen an SSD that had failed and when installed into another machine to see just if it might work, the computer wouldn't boot at all.
