Could you please attach the /etc/fstab file to this report from the current system?

I solved the problem. My fstab file consisted of a comment at the end of the line. 'fstab' file is read using a format mask "%-23s %-23s %-7s %-15s %d % d\n", so any chars at the end of the line caused that the line did not match a format and was not read. That why the root partition was not seen. File fsset.py def fstab (self): format = "%-23s %-23s %-7s %-15s %d %d\n" ....
