Hello,
I have a few Ubuntu Server 16 virtual machines on an ESXi 6.5 host. On one of them I was attempting to do my normal "apt update && apt upgrade -y" routine and was getting a disk full error. I learned that my /boot was full and I guess I should have been incorporating 'apt autoclean' to my routine. Too late. Ended up deleting some older (timestamped) files manually and it looks like I deleted the wrong ones.
Now when I boot the OS it scrolls a bunch of text that I can't make out and ends with this line:
[0.672386] --- [ end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
Is there any way to recover my mistake? Boot into a recovery mode and do something from there? It would be great not to have to reinstall everything.
Thanks for any advice!
