I'm trying to install Xubuntu (7.10, currently downloading 8.04), but the LiveCD on boot merely goes
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (104,1)
As far as I can tell (fnx google) it most likely has something to do with initrd, but most end up solving them using the LiveCD, whereas this is coming from the LiveCD.
Can anyone help?

E: Sorry I haven't provided a whole amount of information, as it isn't my laptop. I'll try to get more specifics.
