Public bug reported:
I can see the issue. Your system is currently running kernel 6.14.0-33, but the
boot symlinks point to kernel 6.17.0-
14-generic, which has an initrd image created today (Feb 8 21:37) but the
kernel itself is from January. The "VFS:
Unable to mount root fs" error typically occurs when:
1. The initrd is missing required drivers for your root filesystem
2. The initrd is corrupted or doesn't match the kernel
3. Boot configuration is pointing to wrong kernel/initrd
