Kernel panic after fresh installation
So there were posts about this error
VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
As far as I understand there was no other solution other than installing bazzite on top of fedora. When I tried to install it it gave me this error I tried installing it with ventoy, rufus and balena ether and none of them worked, after that I tried to install it in VM (in my case hyper V) and clone partitions from vhd fille to my nvme drive and it worked without any issues so there is a problem during instalation on physicall drive either bug with installer or with burning tools.15 Replies
does grub give you an out of memory error before this?
try disab;omg TPM that is known to help with the out of memory error
& thus the kernel panic
& your motherboard wouldn't happen to be an ASUS one would it?
It is lenovo laptop
oh
But then why installing it in vm with secure boot works
And copying partitions from vhd to physicall disk work
And I don't know if it matters, but the drive to which I wanted to install Bazzite was the second partition (at the end of the drive), which was encrypted by BitLocker.
the kernel panic is pretty understandable
lemme explain
Isn't it just that system want to mount root but it encounter error?
as it says it can't mount the root filesystem
no & yes
grub doesn't mount the rootfs per se
the kernel does
but it does do something closely related
grub's job is to load 2 files
the kernel itself & the initrd fi;e
the initrd once in memory is mounted as a temporary root filesystem by the kernel
it contains a few programs & some drivers
just enough to find & prepare the real system
if grub doesn't load the initrd the kernel just has nothing to work with
& throws this kernel panic
it is technically possible to boot without an initrd
if the system is simple enough
I'm having the same issue but on Asus and ventoy. Is there a way to fix it?
bazzite requires an initrd though
as i said disabling TPM helps
don't know why
I'll give it a try then. Thanks
but people have had this problem before
on ASUS
Weird thing, it says disabled and hasn't been enabled (coming from win10). So I'm guessing ventoy is not playing nice with bazzite
does the installer not boot or the installed system?
I installed bazzite in vm, and cloned partitions which were in vhd fille to physical drive and it worked, without any error, but when tried to install on physicall device it gave kernel panic
So if you have enough knowledge you could test my bypass method and say if it worked for you
it installs, but kernel panics after grub
