Dear reader,
Recently my friend introduced me with Ubuntu and I wanted to try for myself. I wanted a dual boot so cleared space of my HDD of my laptop.
My Dvd/cd drive doesn't really work anymore (ticking sound when a cd-rom is read) So I decided to do a installation from a USBstick, which I made via my friends laptop, which runs Ubuntu.
The installation went fine and soon I had Kernel 2.6.27-7 on my system. After the first boot there are 262 updates which have to be installed. This takes a while. At 2/3 of the installed updates it suddenly restarts the system from grubloader but then this Kernel Panic occurs:
Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)
So I turn the laptop off and on and see in the Grub loader that there is another kernel aswell: kernel 2.6.7-11
I presume this is the latest one where the updates are being installed so press enter en then the kernel panic occurs again.
Press off and on and try kernel 2.6.7-7. This version works, but on start up there is a message saying: Instal Problem: The configuration defaults for GNOME power manager have not been installed correctly.
How do I fix this problem?
I am running a 1.60ghz Celeron 512mb RAM. 80GB HDD, in 3 partitions, on one is windowsXP, on the other some programs and the 3th and largest (42GB) was reserved for Ubuntu.
