Almost similar to System Not Booting - Failed to activate swap /swapfile
So far, i tried the recovery option -
sudo swapoff -a # turn off swap
sudo rm -i /swapfile # remove old /swapfile
2nd command gave me a read-only filesystem
So, i switched over to a USB- Try Ubuntu
My disk partitions are as below : with /dev/sda4 earlier the root option

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

/dev/sda7 /mnt/sda7 auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
I think my fstab is screwed up and while i wait for answers, i can just change the /dev/sda4 line from
/dev/sda4 /mnt/sda4 ext4 errors=remount-ro,x-gvfs-show 0 1
to
/dev/sda4 / ext4 errors=remount-ro,x-gvfs-show 0 1
I also did
sudo mount /dev/sda4 /
and reboot and see if that works.
Update : That worked.
