I am using Ubuntu 20.04. I checked the posts like Stuck at initramfs, Busybox initramfs and boot stuck which did not provide any solution. So it is not wise to mark this question as repeat question unless you are able to provide any successful solution. In my case, blkid or exit does not show anything and shows (initramfs) prompt again. As usual, reboot is not working. The command df shows udev and tmpfs filesystem. The second solution in the second link above advice to use ubuntu live disk and in the terminal, it advices to use sudo fsck -f /dev/sdb# partition which is under linux filesystem. However, that command reports it is not possible as it is mounted. The df -h command shows only mounted disk by ubuntu live and not partition in installed ubuntu. In reference boot stuck, it adviced to open /etc/crypttab. Since the original root is not mounted, I am not getting anything. The command sudo chroot /mnt does not work in livecd terminal.

Please advice how may I proceed. Thanks and Regards

I found the solution suddenly. Since I have a dual boot, I wanted to boot into Windows 10 and I was surprised to blue screen (BSOD) reporting windows issue. Finally I thought to re-install ubuntu and started to re-install. Then the installation wizard reported ubuntu is unable to install with RAID. This is strange. My system is working since Aug, 2021. Then in the BIOS configuration setup I found RAID is on. I changed it to AHCI mode and tried to see what happens after the reboot. I checked windows 10 and it opened superbly. Then I tried to reboot in ubuntu and it showed login screen immediately without any issue. I am surprised. The issue is resolved.
