You are still in the initial ramdisk and the system does not find your root
device. Have you checked whether the path you get told exists? Is the UUID (the
long number) the right one?
You can interrupt GRUB by pressing the left shift key at the right time between
the BIOS screen going away and before you see the kernel starting (it is a bit
hard as the timing is quite short). There you could edit the line saying root=
and put the direct device name there (if you know that), like root=/dev/sd??.
Once successfully booted, you need to run "sudo update-grub" to re-create the
boot loader setup.
