Gave up waiting for root file system device / Installed Ubuntu on flash drive
by Dienx from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6M8YF)
Hello, a bit of a newbie here.
I currently downloaded the newest latest of ubuntu available on a hard drive, then installed on new Hp laptop.
the screen its giving me is :
Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:
-boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
-check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
-missing modules (cat/proc/modules; ls /dev
ALERT! UUID=41ca7b72-0036....... does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
Busybox v1.30.1 (ubuntu 1:1.30.1 - 7ubuntu30 built-in shell (ash)
enter help for a list of built-in commands.
any advice? ive tried like 10 hours on YouTube videos and also read like every similar post about this but all steps that have been taken on those dont seem to work...
thanks !
