Whenever you did linux rescue did you do chroot /mnt/sysimage. I am not sure
if this would cause problems, the only reason I ask is becuase if root isn't
set to /mnt/sysimage and it is trying to look in /etc/fstab it should be
looking in /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab; this might cause the disk not to mount.
This could be a simple grub issue, let me know.
