Bug#729985: linux-image-3.2.0-4-486: Kernel panic Unable to mount root on old laptop with linux-image-3.2.0-4-486
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.51-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer,
After an aptitude upgrade in debian wheezy, a new kernel linux-image-3.2.0-4-486 was installed.
This kernel does not boot with following messages:
No filesystem could mount root: tried:
Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
and then a stack trace.
I tried adding some debugging parameter to the kernel start line as instructed in:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Boot_Debugging#Extreme_Debug
but it didn't added anything useful.
When selected in grub, the older kernel linux-image-3.2.0-2-486 (Version: 3.2.20-1) does boot correctly.
When comparing 3.2.0-2 and 3.2.0-4 in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, they look similar (especially the set root='(hd0,msdos1)' and the UUID)
My laptop is a HP compaq nx7000
