So use the simple limited fstab as I've been suggesting.

I don't know how much clearer I can make this: you *cannot* use hd* with
Gutsy. You *must* use sd* and UUID.

Then please do as requested and comment out all but the required boot
and swap in the fstab and try a minimal fstab. Grub is trying to mount
something that is not there. Clean your grub and fstab's to minimal and
then add the additional partions/devices.

* meaning you replace the asterisk with your actual device:

sd*
sda1
sda2
etc.

So:
sudo /sbin/vol_id -u /dev/sda1
sudo /sbin/vol_id -u /dev/sda5
etc.

There is no sd* - it was used as an example and meant for you to replace
the asterisk with your actual device.

And the fact that you have hd* and no sd* devices is the problem.
