I can't boot into my OVH server running 14.04. I booted it into recovery mode and then installed QEMU and attempted to boot into it with VNC.
I'm getting this error:
![]()
Transcript: Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
Bunch of text under that.
What I've tried so far, in addition to the VNC attempt:
- Mounting the partition and chrooting into it, which doesn't have DNS resolution capabilities meaning that installing software like Boot-Repair isn't possible
- grub-mkconfig, grub-install from recovery system - no effect.
- Setting root and other info from grub recovery
- Boot info script (results here)
How can I recover my OS without having to re-install the OS?
It's a 2TB disk, 2 partitions, and I really don't want to go through the hassle of disk dumping, backups, etc.
Any suggestions are welcome.
