If that helps then try a smaller number so your boot time won't be overly long. Also add "noquiet" so you will see all the kernel messages as it boots.
Just add those 2 kernel options to whatever is already in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= in /etc/default/grub. Quiet may already be there so just add the no in front. Then run update-grub so grub can update /boot/grub/grub.cfg file. > So far no result, all things I'v been trying end up in the "give up waiting > for root device" error. > > This is how the partition table is looking like: > Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type > /dev/sda1 2048 121636863 121634816 58G 83 Linux > /dev/sda2 164270080 167772159 3502080 1.7G 5 Extended > /dev/sda3 121636864 164270079 42633216 20.3G 83 Linux > /dev/sda5 164274176 167772159 3497984 1.7G 82 Linux swap / Solaris > > output blkid: > blkid > /dev/sr0: UUID="2016-10-20-09-23-51-00" LABEL="GParted-live" TYPE="udf" > PTUUID="647d59b6" PTTYPE="dos" > /dev/sda1: UUID="e42240d0-f587-440e-a10d-8c568938fb84" TYPE="ext4" > PARTUUID="000120c8-01" > /dev/sda3: LABEL="users" UUID="0554d637-49cf-4981-8630-046385eb8b6c" > TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="000120c8-03" > /dev/sda5: UUID="f9795e42-60d7-48eb-a762-026be37e8e8f" TYPE="swap" > PARTUUID="000120c8-05" > > > Any idea how to solve this? > ...Bob
