I installed ubuntu 9.10 1 week ago on my laptop using the windows installer Wubi. It was a fresh installation (not an upgrade of a preexisting ubuntu system) Everything went perfectly well. I haven't changed any settings nor repository regarding software source lists or updates. On tuesday 17 nov. I ran the update utility through the GUI to download and install updates. As far as I can remember, by default, in Ubuntu, default settings make that only security and recommended updates are downloaded.
Download and installation of updates went perfectly well. I normally shut down my laptop after that. After that I didn't use my laptop until yesterday evening. At the boot screen, after selecting Ubuntu (the other entry is Windows Vista Home Basic), I ran into the kernel panic error message : Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,2) -- Wubi/Karmic boot: kernel panic - not synching: VFS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
