On fresh Ubuntu 13.10 installation, on boot it shows black screen with error message.

How can I fix this?

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/f8d8eb7d-2423-4cc5-b0e6-72d47678121e does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

Type exit at the prompt and the system should boot.
After that edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst to wait longer for the root device. Add rootdelay=XXX parameter, or adjust it to a bigger value.
