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 v1.30.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.30.1-4ubuntu6.3) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a lost of built-in commands.
(initramfs)

I Tried

(initramfs)blkid
: empty result

(initramfs)cat /etc/fstab 
also showing empty

reboot is also not working

I tried different solution which are already available on internet but nothing is worked

Okay, the same happened to me installing Ubuntu for the first time (dual booting with windowz) ... I have not resolved it. I reinstalled openSUSE which worked as normal with the correct grub list appearing, but because I really want Ubuntu. I tried again and again only a ">grub" appears and the the initramfs. This solution on askubuntu worked for me to repair the file system: Busybox initramfs again and again

But still at startup only grub> prompt. I then typed 'exit' and windows boot manager appears with options, I chose the 2nd and the ubuntu grub menu appeared and I could start. It's not handy but a workaround till I find the solution.
