Bug Description
I was using Karmic, installed with Wubi. For a week it worked like a charm, and I updated it with the latest fixes.
Since about 3 days ago every boot fails with kernel panic
Going without the "--quiet" option, the message is:
No filesystem could be mounted, tried: ext3 ext2 ext4 fuseblk
Kernel-panic - not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,6)
Eg. the grub entry for for the standard boot reads:
insmod ntfs
set root=(hd0,6)
search --no-floppy --fs-uid --set a2a40b74a40b4a6d
loopback loop0 /ubunu/
set root=(loop0)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-
initrd /boot/initrd.
My /ubuntu directory is on (hd0,6). If I use the grub command line, I can:
- see the contents of the drive
- mount the root.disk as a loopback device and see its contents
- can find the files referenced in the menu.lst
Any ideas how to make it work again?
I had a previous install of Wubi/Karmic-rc, upgraded in place that had some kernel panics too after a few weeks of usage, but I just reinstalled it so not sure if it had the same issue.
