#1 Re: Installation » Kernel panic not syncing VFS after install » 2025-04-01 01:18:52
I wanted to add my problem may be due to not using the latest iso image (used devuan_daedalus_5.0.0_amd64_netinstall.iso). I just assumed the mirror had the latest. I did another install using the 5.0.1 iso and the menu I originally expected with a full screen blue background appeared after boot. One thing I want to mention is the installer would not proceed until I let it format at least the EFI partition. I partitioned the drive before the install but hey it works.

Yup that's the reason. Wasn't sure what was going on so put it as a question. Glad I put in the effort because Devuan is so quick.

Had problems after install using netinstall, minimal-live iso using refractainstaller. Would not boot reporting kernel panic not syncing VFS, unable to boot fs...etc. Seems the boot tries to load and old/wrong kernel? I fixed it using update-initramfs:
sudo fdisk -l
sudo mount /dev/sdax /mnt
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
sudo mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
sudo chroot /mnt
If you /boot is on a separate partition also do:
sudo mount /dev/sday /mnt/boot
Now you can run update-initramfs then update-grub to fix it.
Enter:
update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.38-8-generic (or your version)
If you don't know your version. Use:
dpkg --list | grep linux-image
And just update Grub:
update-grub
Reboot.

Worked for me, hope it helps someone.
