I have a fpbx distro system, that was updating (system updates, not module updates) and somehow it failed the upgrade. Disk space isn’t an issue. During reboot the system issues a panic and hangs.
The panic error is: “Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown -block(0,0)”
If I manually intervene and have Grub boot off previous Kernel, it will boot into Emergency Mode. If I login, then exit, it will finish booting in the old kernel and everything will operate normally up until another reboot (in which case it will panic again). After getting it up, I yum update everything and that did not change/fix the issue.
This is a production system and it’s virtualized. I have current backups, but would prefer to repair the borked update. What is recommended way to get past this properly? It appears I may just need to somehow rebuild that failed kernel install or repair. I have seen some posts talking about rebuilding the ramfs image that the kernel uses during booting. I found a link which references this situation pretty clearly however not sure if others have ran into this before I go cowboy here:
