22.04 upgrade failure


this is VERY similar to what I got:

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/11d3bcfa-0726-47cf-a705-e4acdd9169fe does not exist.
Dropping to a shell!

BusyBox v.1.21.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.21.0-1ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for list of built-in commands.

I tried booting up on Linux 19.X, going to harddrive
and changing rootdelay to 90, and it still failed.

What else can I do?

This is your problem.
Your root partition's UUID used to be 11d3bcfa-0726-47cf-a705-e4acdd9169fe, now it's something else I guess.
You need to find out the new UUID, then fix your grub.
One way is by booting live from some USB stick, run
Code:
lsblk -f
and replace the old UUID with the new one in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Or you can boot a rescatux image and use the Grub repair option.

Thank you ondoho. ..
I tried to give you some reputation,but I have to spread it around I guess.

I lost everything. . .I had to reinstall the whole operating system.

Thank you for your help.
