I have removed "splash VGA=788 quiet splash". I then pressed ctrl x and
I got the following<br>
<br>
<p>A whole string of commands start running. What I am left with on
the screen is as follows:</p>
<p>Begin: Loading essential drivers.....<br>
Done<br>
Begin: Mounting root file system.....<br>
Begin: Running /scripts/<wbr>local-top.<wbr>..<br>
Done<br>
Begin: Waiting for root file system...<br>
Done<br>
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:<br>
-Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)<br>
-Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)<br>
-Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)<br>
-Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)<br>
ALERT! /dev/disk/<wbr>by-uuid/<wbr>3cf5e4db-<wbr>78ae-46de-<wbr>af8a-18aebc95f4<wbr>4
does
not exist. Dropping to a shell!</p>
<p>BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)<br>

Weird.. "/dev/disk/<wbr>by-uuid/<wbr>3cf5e4db-<wbr>78ae-46de-<wbr>af8a-18aebc95f4<wbr>4
does
not exist" is usually because the UUID of the disk changed (for
example when you replace it with a new one). Follow the same
instructions as before and replace "/dev/disk/<wbr>by-uuid/<wbr>3cf5e4db-<wbr>78ae-46de-<wbr>af8a-18aebc95f4<wbr>4"
with
/dev/sda1 .As far as I know most disks are picked up as /dev/sdx
in recent versions of Ubuntu. If you want to use the UUID just boot
from a livecd and run ls -l /dev/disk/<wbr>by-uuid/ and you'll have the
correct UUID for the disk.<br>

I had a similar problem, changing the "fstab" file to /dev/sdx for that
partition did the trick<br>
