You need to run
sudo blkid

And compare that with you fstab to correct the uuid's being used by fstab.


cat /etc/fstab

And correct any errors in fstab accordingly.

You can do this from the livecd with
gksu gedit /etc/fstab

Or from the shell with
sudo nano /etc/fstab

i also had same problem. In my case it happened because of the recent addition of a old hardware(i added my old IDE harddisk to my computer). did u install any hardware recently ?.
to continue using your linux.. wait for till the "BusyBox v1.10.2(Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-ubuntu7) built-in shell(ash)" prompt.. press CTRL+C many times till it continues with the loading of files/services.. i didnt find any solutions.

try this (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202) link - towards the bottom there is "Reinstalling from LiveCD" - try that method.
