[SOLVED] Kernel panic-not synching: Unable to mount root fs on ...

Hey guys!

I was running Arch, Windows and Slackware on my laptop till Saturday. Decided to replace the Slackware since I wasn't using it lately with another distro. As a result Arch doesn't boot. Windows boots normally. I get this message

Kernel panic - not synching:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

I tried in GRUB

set root=(hd0,4)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda4
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
boot

and Arch booted. After that I updated GRUB

mkconfig -o /boot/grub.grub.cfg

but upon reboot I get the same message again

Kernel panic - not synching:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

Any help is highly appreciated!
Thank you!

Is that a typo? The right command should be

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Yes, it's a typo.

Right now I am using an archbang livecd. I am trying to downgrade the kernel to see if that would make it work

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel panic-not synching: Unable to mount root fs on ...

You said you can boot into Arch by editing the GRUB entry, so, can you reboot manually again into your Arch and post the content of your /boot/grub/grub.cfg and the full output of the following commands?

uname -a
lsblk  --all --fs

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel panic-not synching: Unable to mount root fs on ...

The grub configuration seems ok... Is that a BIOS or UEFI system? Where is grub installed (is it on /dev/sda)?

What is the output of

# fdisk -l

?

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel panic-not synching: Unable to mount root fs on ...

GRUB is installed on /dev/sda.
The laptop is HP 470 G0. I bought it last year and it had Win8. I erased it but to install Slackware I think I had to change something in the BIOS so it should be UEFI by default. If there is a certain command to check this I do not know it.

sudo fdisk -l

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel panic-not synching: Unable to mount root fs on ...

Just found this

dmesg | grep "EFI v"

here http://askubuntu.com/questions/162564/h … fi-or-bios and it gives no result which according to the info in the link should mean the machine booted from BIOS. Just as a confirmation.

Yes, I just realized that there was no esp partition in your fdisk output. The problem could be that you updated the grub configuration in the Arch Linux installed in /dev/sda4, but /dev/sdb2 is marked as bootable (which is omunted as /media/Slack). Try to make /dev/sda4 as bootable instead of /dev/sda2 and also try to reinstall grub on /dev/sda: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … ll_to_disk

Changed the flag and ran the commands from the link. Everything works now.
Thank you very much, mauritiusdadd!
