So I woke up this morning to boot my ubuntu 22.04 on a dell latitude 3420 as usual but I got an error like this Gave up waiting for root device on Ubuntu
First answer suggested to go into BIOS change storage configuration from RAID to AHCI
So I did that, and it worked, I could boot normally, only to find the network completely missing
Got the suggestion to try and check the folders /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/netplan and found them not existant
I did nothing out of the ordinary the night before. Just booted today with this problem. What could've caused this? Now I have to reconfigure all my network stuff from scratch.
Edit: Actually, I'm sorry, perhaps there is something that may have contributed. Software updater keeps prompting to install security updates: Linux kernel extra modules for version 5.15.0 on 64bit x86 SMP Linux kernel nvidia modules for version 5.15.0-1021 (objects) Linux kernel signatures for nvidia modules for version 5.15.0-1021-intel-iotg Signed kernel image intel-iotg other updates: ubuntu base
I kept hitting install now and it apparently installed everything ok, only for the same window with the same prompt to pop up 5 minutes later. I kept hitting install now over and over then I got fed up and hit remind me later. Only for it to also keep popping up every 5 minutes.
