your blkid outpot and fstab antry for /home:
UUID="7f6fcee8-9505-437f-bb29-b9c894041172
see the dif.: 7f NOT 7x

your blkid output has no partition with this UUID
yet in fstab you have for swap:
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=3d05177c-33c4-4d4b-9c76-9103ae9384e7       
which is correct according to blkid output
AND
# swap was on /dev/sdb7 during installation
UUID=59a31579-1a6c-46a8-9ecb-7d1b79a9943e
which apparently does not exist (anymore, maybe?)

It might be doe you are not using Grub2, but Grub legacy.
In this case you can edit
/boot/grub/menu.lst
and remove the entry with non existing (second) swap partition (sdb7)
and double check UUID for /home.

No, it does not - se above.
Hope it helps a bit. Anyway, waiting for some additional suggestions may
be useful.
