Just tried to clean install my computer with the newest Ubuntu but it takes me immediately to grub. My partition is saved at (hd0,msdos5) it seams. I did the assignments as follows:

grub> set root=(hd0,5)
grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.4.0-29-generic root=/dev/sda5
grub> initrd /boot/initrd.img-5.4.0.29-generic
grub> boot

But after boot I get the message that it gave up waiting for rootfile system device. And then an ALERT! /dev/sda5 does not exist. Dropint to a shell! and then I'm stuck ash, I think.

Really not sure what to do here since I've never had this kind of issue before

    Try using grub's tab completion to fill in the possible devices, and check them all. So at the "set root=" type tab and see which devices are available, then use it and do same for partitions. – ubfan1 May 13 '20 at 21:37
