Hi all,<br>
<br>
In November my desktop computer running Ubuntu 14.04 (I think)
suggested that I upgrade.<br>
<br>
I left it doing it's thing over night and it failed to upgrade.<br>
<br>
When rebooted it comes up with a message<br>
<br>
end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)<br>
<br>
I have absolutely no idea how to get it going<br>
<br>
I did download ubuntu-20.10-desktop-amd64(1) onto a usb and tried
to install or boot the computer from it but no results there
either.<br>
<br>
Hope some one can head me in the right direction even if is just
to recommend somewhere to take it<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Bob<br>
