Hi Matthew, thank you for having a look at this issue. Unfortunately Ubuntu still does not boot after applying the changes you suggested. It still drops back to the initramfs prompt. A log of the changes is left below.

Yesterday the updates brought in a new kernel image: 6.8.0-45-generic. Boot has failed since, apparently it is not able to find the root volume and drops back to the initramfs prompt. No error messages are shown during the failed boot process, however, when I try to quit the initramfs prompt a few messages appear (see image attached). With the original kernel (6.8.0-44-generic) the system boots fine and the HDD is working as expected. The contents of the `fstab` file are below. ``` $ cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may # be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if # disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> UUID=F8F9-FF58 /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 2 UUID=e13ff5f9-7a98-4e01-873f-b1a0fd440c77 / ext4 defaults 0 1 UUID=5d3a8f7f-d08f-4f65-bcda-55d3fa5f6cbd /home ext4 defaults 0 2 /swapfile none swap sw 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0 ``` Please let me know if I can provide further information.
