Public bug reported: This is the same machine as I just reported bug 1618771 against. I am raising this bug by hand to report the kernel panic that I was talking about in 1618771.
A virtual machine running on a Windows Server 2012R2 Hyper-V system rebooted as part of an automated upgrade last night. It seems to have just installed the new 3.19.0-68-generic kernel. The system failed to boot and instead kernel paniced. As part of investigating the problem we tried booting the previously installed kernel (66 I think) and could bring up the system OK. It asked to perform a disk check on / and /boot as it came up, which seemed to go fine. Once we were running a `df -h` showed that /boot was 100% full with no space left at all. To improve the system an `apt-get autoremove` was run which uninstalled a bunch of older kernels, freeing just over 100MB of space from /boot. Power cycling the system allowed us to boot successfully under the new 3.19.0-68 kernel. We have an image of the failed boot message & I will type out a few of the lines here: VFS: Cannot open root device "mapper/warden--vg-root" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6 Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: 0b00 1048575 sr0 driver: sr Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs unknown-block(0,0) CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.19.0-68-generic #76~14.04.1-Ubuntu Hardware name: Microsoft Corporation Virtual Machine/Virtual Machine, BIOS 090006 05/23/2012 ** Affects: linux-lts-vivid (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Image of the end of the kernel panic output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1618778/+attachment/4731414/+files/kernel-panic-on-boot.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1618778 Title: Kernel Panic from 3.19.0-68-generic VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-vivid/+bug/1618778/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
