Oh no!!
After 4 years of successful Ubuntu, my computer will not boot now at all :
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)
And it's worse than other users who have experienced the same kernel panic as my computer sticks on a black screen,and I cannot type at all (nothing happens when I try to type).
I created a new Ubuntu 8.10 ISO image disk using my MacBook but when I insert this into the Ubuntu machine, press ESC on startup in order to have the Boot from CD option, I can arrow-scroll to that option but the CD does not boot even when I use ENTER on that option.
As I cannot type, have no access to a command line I fear the machine is dead and I can no longer access all my stuff!
HELP !!!
