ilia_kr Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I've installed Ubuntu 6.06 lts and during the update the wizard froze. After rebooting i had no desktop - only a brown screen and a mouse. I've entered "apt-get update" from a cli and again it stalled on some packges, so i pressed ctrl-c to skip them. After rebooting i got this message: ramdisc: ran out of compressed datainvalid compressed format (err=1) kernel-panic not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) How can i fix that? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Sounds as if the initrd image was not written or that the naming is wrong... (i remember that some systems changed the initrd.img name to linux.img after an upgrade) When you get to grub, press a key in order to go into edit mode and check if there are all necessary entries, especially one like this: initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-3-i386 If necessary, try to set up grub again: grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
