      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>
      <br>
