Hi - I’m getting an error on my ubuntu server after it was migrated during the digital ocean maintenance window. The console says
RAMDISK: gzip image found at block 0 RAMDISK: incomplete write (4871 != 24070) write error VFS: cannot open root device “LABEL=DOROOT” or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct “root=” boot option; here are the available partitions: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
and then the stack trace below that.
Any ideas? I"m desperate?

Fixed it myself - the kernel ramdisk had become corrupted in the transfer. Halted the machine, installed a new kernel via the control panel, and boot the machine. Console came up but no networking. Module deps weren’t available for the kernel I’d selected - powered off and switched to an older kernel that I knew I had modules for, reboot, and now the vm is fine and networking came up correctly.
Oh god i had same problem, are u problem solve? i have much data on here, i have problem kernel panic - not syncing: vfs Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)
