http://askubuntu.com – I'm new with all this Ubuntu and Linux programs so please bare with me. So today my niece gave me her laptop she got from a tutor program and asked me to fix it since it didn't boot all the way. So the problem is once I select Ubuntu with Linux 3.0.0-15-Generic from the GNU GRUB (Ver 1.99-12ubuntu5) loads up the initramfs prompt. What do I do from there? I've typed exit and it gives me the following message: [ 85.199633] Kernal panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! [ 85.199689] Pid: 1; comm: init Not tainted 3.0.0-15-generic #26-Ubuntu There's a whole bunch more lines listed, but ho (HowTos)

12.04 kernel panic 48 weeks 6 days ago

Hello i am having trouble with ubuntu 12.04.

I updated Ubuntu and when I rebooted, it won't boot. I get a black screen with the error Kernel panic - not syncing:Attempted to kill init

I use Ubuntu 12.04, my linux-image is 3.2.0-33-generic-pae,recovery mode goes into the same error (Kernel panic - not syncing:Attempted to kill init) and Ubuntu upgraded my previous linux versions as well and they all go into that same error.

I have a P4 on an 845g MB running 10.04. I wanted to start fresh, so I download mythbuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso and used the startup disk creator to make a bootable usb from the image. But I get the following when I try to boot from it. I have tried two different usb drives and checked the md5sum of the iso.

Hi all,

I just bought a Sony Vaio series S (8gb Ram, i5 3rd generation) and during the Ubuntu instalarion it gave me the following mensage : "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block(0,0)" "Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu.

Anybody can help me to solve this problem ? Any tips ?

Cheers.

I had ubuntu 11.04 installed on my laptop. Then I installed windows 7 and tried to install ubuntu 12.04 on other partition. but when I select try ubuntu without installing or install ubuntu I get same error, "Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknows-block (0,0)" "Pid:1, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.2.0-23-generic-pae #36 ubuntu"

yes this problem might have been reported and solved for a lot of people on the Internet but i haven't found anyone who is running their Ubuntu 12.04 from a USB drive. i crashed my hard disk a long time ago and now am running Ubuntu from a USB drive since a few months. i have rebooted and booted a lot of times.

My laptop dual-boots Windows 7 & Ubuntu. Recently I added a logical partition and installed Backtrack. So now I'm triple-booting.
