When I boot up I get this message and can’t log on. [ 0.185085] ×86/cpu: SGX disabled bBIOS. 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; Is /dev) ALERT! UUID-df5bOe 76-28ce-4248-8010-1a01d98f0449 does not exist. Dropping to a shell! Enter *nel.30 for burst of .39 t-7ul unturn bullt-in shell (ash) List item

Does anyone know how to fix this?

      OK, but I meant from the actual emergency shell. How did you get to your terminal with the failing boot if I may ask?

        This is a live usb boot repair. It has sudo privileges.

          Oh, ok, thanks. It seems the UUID is correct, so the question why your initramfs doesn’t find it remains unsolved. Which distribution are you using in the first place? An ubuntu derivative as well?

            It’s Ubuntu cinnamon. I believe the hard drive had failed/ been corrupted. I tried reinstalling and it said the computer only has 8 gb of space. So it was trying to install it on the live usb I was using.
