Public bug reported: After the kernel update from version 5.4.0-42 to version 5.4.0-45 a few days ago, the boot process is ending in a BusyBox shell. Apparently it cannot properly identify my M.2 NMVe SSD device where my root partition is. Indeed, it is not listed in /dev. For now, I'm solving this problem by booting the previous kernel, 5.4.0-42. This works fine.
Also, an earlier attempt ended in a different shell that presented the error message "Gave up on waiting for root file system device". The UUID it indicated as missing is the correct UUID of my root partition, which also appears on /etc/fstab. I tried to re-build initrd.img-5.4.0-45-generic, but to no avail. Let me also mention that in another computer with a non-M.2 SSD, kernel 5.4.0-45 boot properly. This bug seems to be the one mentioned in the following "Unix & Linux" forum question: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/607694/ubuntu-20-04-01-not-booting-after-kernel-update Many thanks in advance!
