Dick,
The kernel might be looking at the wrong partition. Here's a fairly
recent
thread on LQ that has a step-by-step check of /etc/fstab:
<https://tinyurl.com/yam94rro>.
fstab shows:
/dev/sda2 / ext4 defaults 1 1
blkid shows:
/dev/sda2: UUID="2ee0533f-3f48-4114-8d5c-1fd4758a72ed" TYPE="ext4"
PARTUUID="50cca100-02"
lilo.conf shows:
boot = /dev/sda
<...>
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/sda2
cfdisk shows:
Device Boot Start End Sectors
Size ID Type
/dev/sda1 2048 16779263 16777216
8G 82 Linux swap
/dev/sda2 * 16779264 500118191 483333
9828 230.5 G 83 Linux
I'm assuming your laptop uses the DOS/MBR partition type and in
/etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 is /, /dev/sda2 is /boot, /dev/sda3 is swap, and so on.
In fstab, /dev/sda1 is not listed. It is the swap partition.
/dev/sda2 is listed with a mount point of / and a file system type of ext4.
