Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs

Featured Replies

I'm receiving the attached kernel panic error.  My system has been working fine for almost five years.  I upgraded from 6.7.2 to 6.8.2 in early February.  I was swapping out a 4 TB drive for an 8 TB drive when the problem occurred.  I have tried the troubleshooting steps below based on other threads but have still not been able to boot:

 

-- Rebuilt my USB boot drive with 6.8.2 and a copy of my current config.  I tried this with my existing and a different USB drive.

-- Rebuilt my USB boot drive with 6.7.2 and a copy of my current config on my existing USB drive.

-- Added a root=sda boot option to the syslinux/syslinux.cfg file.  I also tried root=sda1.

-- Booted into GUI mode.

-- Moved the USB boot drive to a different USB port.

 

Any ideas on what could be causing this error?

 

Thanks!

I tried recreating it manually with both the existing flash drive and a different one.  I get a different kernel panic error (last screen attached).  Any thoughts on this one?

 

Thanks!

No sorry, can you try those flash drives on a different PC, just to see if they boot?
