Maybe your disk is corrupt. When you have inserted this disk into another system (or if you boot from a rescue CD) you can take a look whether the /dev/disk/by-uuid/493… path exists. You should also see a new device /dev/sdX and the device nodes for your partitions. J. -- I want to keep my skin looking good but I believe all computers do the same job.
