Comment 21 for bug 1308796

I ran into this bug on AWS and installed Tim's debs as instructed -- except that I didn't install -extra as the server did not have -extra packages installed before.

However on reboot I received the following kernel errors:

[ 1.274049] VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6

I'm now unable to boot this machine and have since terminated it. Am I doing something wrong?
