I recently bought a new computer and I am experiencing problems while trying to install Linux.
Things I have tried:
A variety of distributions:
- Ubuntu;
- Elementary OS;
- Crunchbang++;
- Manjaro; and
- Antergos
Every time I try to boot the system either locks and nothing happens or it returns me the same error:
Kernel panic – not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
I have also tried both booting using an USB flash drive and using CD/DVD. And I have tried booting using Legacy and UEFI.
In the last days I have been to a variety of websites and articles, mainly:
- http://itslaves.com/web/guest/forum/message_boards/message/66813
- https://askubuntu.com/questions/41930/kernel-panic-not-syncing-vfs-unable-to-mount-root-fs-on-unknown-block0-0
I have also searched the StackExchange network but with no success.
The problem with the purposed solutions is:
a) They are for people who already have Linux in their machines and have corrupted their file-systems;
b) For one to execute the presented solutions a Live CD is needed and I can't even boot Linux so this becomes impossible for me.
My motherboard is Gigabyte B85M-D3PH and my processor is an i5-4460, in case this information helps in any way.
Posting here is my last resort.

Does the problem occur when trying to boot from install media, or after install when you try to get into a new system?

I had the same problem, using a Ubuntu Live CD. "Kernel panic – not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block". It was not the CD, it boots fine in my other computer. It ended up being flaky DRAM. I removed one of my 2 memory sticks, then it started booting properly.
