Bug in initramfs /init detected. Dropping to a shell. Good luck!

Solution

This can happen if the SSD1 Slot is empty.

While booting the Bios, it will try fetching the device information about the primary and backup SSDs. If it finds that the SSD1 slot is empty, then this warning message appears.

If SSD was removed from slot1 or if it was already empty, then insert it back in slot1 (at least insert the defective SSD itself in the empty slot).
