[CentOS 7 after Power Off] kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)

Posted on February 11, 2021

Greetings! After a power off I can’t start my droplet. I didn’t do anything with the kernel but something went wrong.I am writing here because I have to wait long hours for support and so far they have not been able to help. Maybe someone has an idea.

I get this error: https://snipboard.io/9PSctj.jpg

At the suggestion of support, I went through these steps: https://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd

But there I ran into an other error: https://snipboard.io/vWH3nt.jpg

Would anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my data back the fastest? I would also like to keep the IP address if possible.

Hello, I have the same issue - kernel panic - unable to mount root fs.

What should I do to recover data from droplet volume?

Is it possible to create another droplet in same region and mount volume from broken droplet to a new one?

Anticipating your kind reply.

Best regards,

Alex

Hey @jankec90,

I fear that you’ll need to have this checked by support as there is nothing to be done from this side.

Nevertheless, I have asked our amazing support team to check-in on your ticket. They will be able to help you further where we cannot! :)

Hope that helps! - KFSys.
