Kernel Panic not syncing ... unable to mount vfs on block 0:0.

[dl.zerocool]

Hello,

Yesterday there was un update probably the kernel that made my Asus F8SV unbootable.
I can of course always start with other kernels.

DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"

I didn't see another report so I assume there's no other one about this bug.
If you need mor information like logs etc, just ask.

[yngens (foranycase)]

Exactly this happened to me after tonights update.

[audunpoi (audun-didgeridoo)]

Happened to me just now. Have no idea what to do. Not able to boot recovery mode either.

Could you follow the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies and attach the following files:

All bug reports should contain at least the output of these commands on a terminal window or console:

    * uname -a > uname-a.log
    * cat /proc/version_signature > version.log
    * dmesg > dmesg.log
    * sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log

These four files should be attached to the bug report (not pasted into comments, as it makes things harder to read, and formatting is completely broken). Please note the comment about dmesg output below.

Same issue with 2.6.24.15. Reports are attached. Thanks.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Hello,

I already have the 2.6.27, actually the bug is solved but it was already solved with the last 2.6.26 in development branch of Ubuntu.
Not encountering any regression introduced by the 2.6.27.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Thanks for the update. Bonsai, since you are the original bug reporter, I'm going to mark this "Fix Released". Thanks.
