Hi, created this bug from that question, because that's what also happened to my mom's laptop.
One day it stopped booting complaining that it could no longer mount /home partition (ext4).
Booting from external USB and debugging from 300km away I discover that blkid reports no UUID for /dev/sda7 partition (which is /home)
/sbin/tune2fs -l /dev/sda7 shows the UUID correctly.
To boot again I had to replace the UUID reference in /etc/fstab for the physical device (/dev/sda7)
IMHO, this behaviour should be investigated because it renders a computer unbootable and novice users are completely lost.
I may be able to provide more information if you need.
