Suddenly my laptop stop booting. I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 and now when it's booting I'm getting this error. I searched it and tried all solutions I found but still not booting. Please don't mark this as a duplicate and please help me!!

Error

Gave up waiting for suspend/resume device

Gave up waiting for root 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=fcbf606a-0ac2-4da9-b0c6-ee8612ed5048 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

I got this output by using Live DVD. I'll add initramfs prompt output after this.

From the comments and chat...

initrd.img-4.15.0-42-generic was getting corrupt. Recreating it didn't help.

If you have good backups, you could boot to -39, then delete all of the -42 files in /boot, then do the Software Updater app, and then see if you can boot normally then. sudo rm -i /boot/*4.15.0-42*

Probably should do a sudo update-grub also.

Deleting the -42 files in /boot, and performing a Software Updater resolved the problem.

After a long, long discussion with @heynnema and @kasperd, we found a solution. I had two initrd.img images ( as I know linux kernel images ). One was 42 and the other was 39. we boot into 39 and ran these commands.

sudo fsck -f /dev/sda2
sudo debsums -s

After that, we deleted 42 image and ran software update.

sudo rm -i /boot/*4.15.0-42*
sudo apt update

now it's working. It was @heynnemas' idea. Thank you @heynnema and @kasperd thank you too.

Try from root user or

sudo -i

fdisk -l

then, in your case the error is with /dev/sda2
so

umount /dev/sda2

fsck -y /dev/sda2
