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)

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.
