Fibonacci (fibonacci-prower) wrote : Kernel panic - not syncing (clean 15.10 install)

I've just installed Kubuntu 15.10 and was able to boot into it once and update the kernel. Since then, everytime I try to boot into it I get the following error message:

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

There might be other error messages before but I cannot see them as they pass too fast, and the only messages I see are those shown in the attached picture.

After some trial and error, I've discovered that this bug occurs when booting with the quiet option. When I remove it, the kernel boots fine most of the time (not everytime, but it's a definite improvement).

What's happening and how do I prevent it?
