Hi, hopefully this should be a simple fix.
Before this computer had Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installed on the entire system, and everything was working fine. When I installed FreeBSD 13.2 I nuked everything, and installed FreeBSD over the entire system.
Now when I try to reinstall Ubuntu over the entire system, the installer works perfectly fine, and it's when I boot Ubuntu I get the following error.
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/920903aa-762f-40d2-8126-87f4b0e6f975 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
BusyBox v1.19.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.3-7ubuntu1.1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a lost of built-in commands.
(initramfs)
On the Ubuntu forums there are few different conflicting solutions to the problem, and they recommend the following.
1) Enter BIOS and change system configuration to SATA operation.
- In my bios I do not see this specific option for SATA operation.
2) Change RAID to AHCI
- When I installed FreeBSD I did not configure RAID, and went with whatever the default option is.
- Also in my bios the system configuration is already set to AHCI, and the only other option is SATA Emulation
There is a bios option to reset everything to defaults, will this work given that Ubuntu was able to work perfectly fine before? Possibly changing AHCI to SATA Emulation is the solution?
Hopefully this is simple, I just don't want to tamper with anything in the bios that might cause this to turn into a disaster.
