Explore Stack Internal I'm a total linux novice, so I really have no idea what to do. I found this similar question but couldn't use the information there to resolve this. Here's some info (blkid, /etc/fstab, fdisk -l, and /boot/grub/grub.cfg) that I believe might be helpful: (if something else would be useful, please let me know!)
Thank you for reading through this post, and please let me know if any other information is needed! Thanks in advance for any help.

I just attempted to update my kernel from 4.2 to 4.6, in Ubuntu 14.04, on a Dell XPS 15 9550. I am interested in the improvements to USB-C support and "Dell laptop support improvements" in the 4.6 kernel.
I did so by downloading linux-headers-4.6.0-040600_4.6.0-040600.201606100558_all.deb, linux-headers-4.6.0-040600-generic_4.6.0-040600.201606100558_amd64.deb, and linux-image-4.6.0-040600-generic_4.6.0-040600.201606100558_amd64.deb from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.6-yakkety/ into /tmp and running dpkg -i /tmp/*.deb. When I attempt to boot with the 4.6 kernel, it drops me into the initramfs BusyBox shell, with the error message ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/1e4790ae-0501-4be4-b965-e2b7c77392eb does not exist. Dropping to a shell.
