How to Fix Kernel Panic Unable to Mount Root FS

Thank you 🎉 saved my life

Are you trying to get people to switch to Arch Linux from Ubuntu I like Ubuntu I've been using it for a month you can make fun of me all you want just letting you know you'll be ablest if you do because I'm autistic

I read error message for Minecraft and other games crashes then I look up on internet and if I can't find any fixes and I just report the bug to the makers of the mod I even had a hate Windows wallpaper on my Linux now I switch it to a hacker because the Linux for the hackers and the Developers and the super Advanced Computer users

Do you recommend switching from Ubuntu to Linux Mint is it any better is it faster I still haven't figured out how to run Windows programs on why it keeps freezing on the. Net Framework install and I searched up on the internet and I tried to fix with two hours but I couldn't find anything I'm keeping my windows and Linux dual boot I used Linux most of time cuz it better I don't know why you told people uninstall Windows mutahar said keep windows but gradually switch over the last version of Windows that was good was Windows 7 Windows pretty nice but I like Linux better because it's faster and you weren't spied on

You got the power and we just got to either State USD to the USB and fix the stuff we've got the power to install Linux

Hi, have anyone met this issue?
When I boot in an older kernel(4.18) on Ubuntu 22.04 server, I will get this error:

VFS: Cannot open root device “mapper/ubuntu–vg-ubuntu–lv” or unknown-block(0,0): error -6
Please append a correct “root=” boot option; here are the available partitions:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

But it’s bootable when use other newer kernels.
Note: kernel debs are downloaded from ppa mainline.

why not just use UUID?

Hey, if you get a chance could you make another video of how to fix Linux after updating and booting up brings you to a GRUB bash screen? thank you for all your videos. I've been using Mint 21 Cinnamon and used the software updater and now when I boot it takes me to a minimal command line bash GRUB instead of the GRUB menu with start, advanced options, etc

Average gentoo user. Good job

How did you get to first screen? I can't boot into it...

THANK YOUUU!! I was so anxious about creating an V.M on my computer because I already have all the necessary content in books of Linux and how to start using that it freaked me out when appeared all kinds of errors in the process. You're really good!

I cannot even get terminal to initiate how do i open it on startup.

Also there is another reason that could lead to this kernel panic, that is initramfs(initrd) being too large.
Just compare the size to another initramfs of old kernel, for me the old kernel initramfs was 50 MB and the new one was 500 MB.
To fix this invoke INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 when instaling modules like so:
sudo make INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 modules_install

I have mint os and kali linux where my linux is stuck at kernel panic can mintos help kali to recover from it

Thank you so much for posting this content, it really motivates me to keep using Linux, despite facing issues I've never faced before and gives me strength to keep trying to fix it, instead of taking the easier way and give up! I feel so accomplished after fixing my system, but my only way of learning is trough videos like this one and forums. Nobody I know uses Linux, so I don't have someone to ask.
That makes me highly appreciate when someone takes from their time to create something, just to share it with the world and I'm extremely thankful for being able to stumble to your channel, watch your videos and expand my knowledge.

One big THANK YOU!

Hi. I have Slackware based Linux, and this happened for me only when I unpacked then repacked initrd.img with the commands below. What's wrong I have done please?
zcat initrd.img | cpio -idmv
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -9 > initrd.img
Thank you

bro just get to the point. no one cares about what you else you have to say, just get to the point

Mine shows root fs

and that is why Linux sucks

Hey fellow based dudes my linux mint cinnamon is okay and super fine for me but sometimes when i shutdown it freezes on the mint logo and whenever i press esc the journal log shows:
unable to unmount oldroot resource might be busy.

can anybody help me with this one?

Had an EFI based kernel panic and no data was left so I just went ahead and reinstalled since there was nothing to repair.

How to turn on termial in without using virtual box

few hours? that's too good

Ctrl + L to quickly clear your terminal window. You’re welcome my dudes

My problem is the computer w/the Kernel Panic is booting from a recovery USB! (Parted Magic). The PM works on other computers.

How do you repeat this process on a Live USB 😁

My fucking usb gives the same error message. FUCK

Aint gonna lie pop os had me in the first half 😅

K help lmao

"end kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted too kill init! exitcode=0x00007f00"

quick question for you , i am still new to this game . After taking new update (kernell) on my Retropie Pi4 , it wont boot any more keep getting this message : cannot open access to console the root account is locked , thanks for your support

No way in hell a regular user would be able to diagnose and fix that problem, even if they read the error message.

Mental uses gaymer keyboard confirmed

This happens on systemd mostly btrfs .. Systemd has something like autogenerate btrfs separate home var cache like that

Mount point does not exist

Step 1: install windows
Step 2: get on with your life

If the GRUB bootloader is working, just boot into the BRUB and make the changes temporarily.

Thank you.

Damn you even threw on the face Ai for your reflection

Hey can you show us how to kernel panic a Linux machine

how you mounted inside mnt without creating sub-directories?
Did you created before recording the video?

i actually got this issue just yesterday, exept on manjaro, and there were some problems with the libraries, so this video helped, the chroot command is very useful.

But Kenny, how can this knowledge help me get laid?

normally you could just remove the root= parameter & boot off the initrd as long as you have one from there you can just mount your actual / or /boot chroot & fix fstab or grub.cfg or whatever just in case some of ya'll didn't know guessin most of you do

thank you kind sir

Is there any particular reason you dont use an initramfs + /etc/fstab ?
