Post-update error: "end kernel panic not syncing vfs unable to mount fs on unknown-block(0,0)"
by linustalman from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5HCBY)
Hi.
I'm on Debian 10 Stable. I recently did an update (about 3 weeks since the previous one). I was using a backported kernel.
Perhaps the update went awry?
The laptop (it's a secondary PC) keeps shutting off and rebooting itself.
I can boot from a live USB. I can also enter the Grub menu and select the oldest kernel, then unlock the system (I'm using LUKS). It then asks me to put in the sudo password to become root. I tried removing some kernels to save space in /boot. I can get a GUI for root (not for my normal user) by entering startx - the WiFi is not available though.
I'm wondering what's the best fix or should I just reinstall the whole OS?
Thanks.
