There errors that I'm getting are apparently because the remaining partitions are not being mounted.
The root partition is obviously being mounted because it's booting
from that and fstab is being read because it tries to mount the other
partitions but there is a message for each of the other partitions along the lines of 'special device /dev/sda7 does not exist'.
sda7 suggests the 7th partition on your drive...do you really have that many ?
Not really. sda1 is an extended partition with sda5 as swap, sda6 as /, sda7 as /home, sda8 as /usr, sda9 as /usr/local and sda10 as /var.
Perhaps you could post your fstab here for us to take a look at.
