“Gave up waiting for root device,” boot-repair failedAfter boot repair, Windows does not bootClean install of 14.04.3 after restart won't bootCan not boot Boot-Repair live cdSystem won't boot anymore after software updateUbuntu won't boot after removing windows and extending partitionboot-repair not fixing boot issuesBooting problem after partition resizing failureBoot problem after device turned off during GParted resizing a partitionUbuntu 16.0.4 hangs on boot with blinking cursor, lvmetad not active, boot-repair and fsck don't work
I was looking at disks with the utility and saw there was 63 gb on extended partition 2, so I figured it wasn't my main partition, partition one, so formatted it. (pic: https://imgur.com/gallery/YW5XBwE) It said changes would take effect after restart. I usually leave the laptop on all the time, but firefox wouldn't launch from the launcher, so I restarted and it wouldn't log in - I get a purple screen, which goes black and then it hangs. I have an old 18.04 on partition 6 so logged into that and found out about boot-repair, so restarted and used the advanced options to enable networking and drop to a root prompt and instatlled it. I managed to get it to boot into a low graphics mode and ran boot repair which logged the details to ubuntu pastebin here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5cqh2ckrtm/
So I restarted and it still just went to the black screen - what am I doing wrong and what do I need to do next to fix this please?
