Hi, the following occurred out of the blue today, though may be the
second time it has happened. While using the machine as normal, the
video cut out, and needed a hard reset. The previous time it may have
occurred was about 3 or 4 days ago (where it re-booted fine), and that
pre-dated running the Adept Updater yesterday. One of the updates
yesterday was a kernel upgrade to (from memory) 2.6.22-something. So I
can't be sure that the following is related to the update:
On reboot, I get the following:
RAMDISK: ran out of compressed data
invalid compressed format (err=1)
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block (0,0)
I have absolutely no idea what this is about, I'm googling but looking
for any experience from the list about how to proceed.
This email is being composed booted into Mepis - the previous
installation to the above Gutsy problem. So the hardware is
functional. df isn't showing me any full partitions.
Any pointers gratefully received!
Roger
