Hi,
I had 16.04LTS running OK on an old Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop but I some kind of failure when installing software (including I think OS) updates, power may have failed during this (not sure as pc was unattended).
Unfortunately now it gets stuck in boot up process. I get a few screens of technical text running quickly by so I can't read it, the last line says
[0.477393] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkonwn-block(0,0)
Is there any way to repair or restore the installation without having to just reinstall everything from scratch?
Many thanks
