Below is the journal logs, for the failure of machine boots into
emergency mode. For some reasons, while unpacking the initramfs, it's
unable to mount the EFI partition and dropping into emergency mode.
And it's points bad superblock
Might-be this is a bug in the 18.04. At the same time 20.04 worked
without any issues.

We are able to boot even after passing "nomodeset" in grub
This is a freshly installed machine, and tried with different kernels
while switching from higher to lower. In all the case, same result.
This machine consist of two drives SSD and HDD. I suspect it might be
caused issue with hardware dependency?
