hey, im a first time user of linux, busted my hard drive using our welder and just got a new one, thought id try something different.
anyways i bought a new usb key with live ubuntu 9.04 on it, got new hdd in, started it up, got to the install menu thing so i installed it , went through the settings questions etc..
got to the main screen with the dropdown things on the top. thought it was done but turned out was just frozen, waited about 20 minutes, nothing happened, so went ahead and rebooted the computer
now it went to the install menu again, thought it was weird so i tried installing it again, and now shows the error;
VFS cannot open root device "NULL" in block 104,1
and has a kernel panic so not sure what the problem is, im not so good with the programming code side of computers, just the hardware so any answers will have to be in simple terms, thanks in advance :)
