Kernel panic with kernel 3.4.3-1

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hello just upgraded to kernel 3.4.3-1.fc17.x86_64 and it went panic after 2 minutes. Now I get a kernel panic message when booting the machine: Code: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs n unknown-block(0,0) Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.4.3-1.fc17.x84_64 #1 and the call trace which I'm not reporting. Using old kernels gives me a filesystem error, requiring to execute e2fsck manually. I'm not doing it just to be sure to not doing anything harmful... Should I execute it and upgrade to any new kernel (if any) or change any boot parameter? Grub has this booti (HowTos)

Stories similar to Kernel panic with kernel 3.4.3-1

I have a Dell laptop with 64-bit Fedora 17 installed on it. I casually updated my system last night using yum. A new kernel was available: 3.5.4-1. After what appeared to be a successful update, I restarted my computer.

My server is running RHEL6.3, and after shutting down, I am unable to boot up the server.

So I made a textbook error, and after I had got everything else working nicely on 12.04, thought I would try to upgrade my Nvidia drivers to "current", since that was recommended, in the hope it would improve 3D performance.

Slight problem: I can no longer boot my kernel.

Hi folks.

Updated recently to kernel 3.4 and getting kernel panic on boot.

Code: Loading Fedora (3.4.2-1.fc16.x86_64) Loading initial ramdisk... [    9.224897] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) .... 3.3.x works fine, so I don't think it's a filesystem problem.

Please help!

The most recent update fails after updating to kernel 3.2.0.25.27. I get "Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" when booting.

I can successfully boot by choosing a previous kernel from grub.

How do I fix the update? do i just uninstall and reinstall the kernel?

Fedora 16.x86_64 Kernel 3.3.2-1.fc16.x86_64 NVidia binary blob.

Well, I thought it would never happen to me, but I installed a kernel update and its borked my system - and as luck would have it, this is my pride-and-joy "production" machine... BAH.

What's up guys. I could use a little help with this if any one may know or seen this before..

Situation :

I am trying to get my kernel zImage smaller so it will boot, over time is got bigger and bigger, but am getting stuck on black screen after splash screen..
