Latest kernel boots to (initramfs) console on Dell Inspirion 15 7577

After getting the latest kernel update, the system keeps booting into a console that says (initramfs), and no amount of any commands helps gets past this.

Previous version kernel before it boots fine.

I'm willing to help figure out what's happened if someone is willing to help guide me through it, I'm no stranger to compiling code or getting debug information.

Thanks in advance.

3) What I expected to happen: To boot into Ubuntu, or a terminal to be able to boot into a graphical interface.

4) What happened instead: Booted into a console that contains (initramfs) that doesn't let me progress further.
