Thanks for the help. UUID change and so do device id's (my device-id just changed in Debian). However, last time I used UUID in my fstab was with Gentoo. I guess I can try if they don't change with Debian. If this doesn't work, what the best way to recover? Chrooting is a problem since you have to use the /dev folder from the livecd which can contain different id/uuid's then your own system making it still impossible to boot.
