Thank you Ken for your reply which makes me thing that I may be on the 
right track to fix this irritating problem.  The fstab file and the 
blkid shows the same UUID and the same UUID shows up in several places 
in in the  /boot/grub/grub.cfg file.

As above, the same UUID does appear in several places in the grub.cfg 
file. Is there a command that will change the UUID to what it should be? 
An Internet search hasn't revealed anything.
