From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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?

It seems your initramfs can't find your root disk with the given UUID. What happens when you ls /dev/disk/by-uuid?

these for listings come up

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?
