My Ubuntu install threw up a Kernel panic today. The details during start-up were as follows:
<snip> [4294671.914000]crc error [4294671.915000]Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS:Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0) [4294671.915000] </snip>
In the GUI startup , the display would freeze at "Loading hardware drivers..." In safe mode, it dropped me to "root@bhute" -but I had no idea what to check and rectify.
Incidently, even Win XP restarted automaically. In safe mode, it restarted at the same point i.e. loading drivers.
Running Ubuntu's memtest gave me some 310272 errors. And to make me more confused, the system worked all OK after the memtest.
Any hints would be welcome. Incidently, Dapper froze around 10 times on my machine in two weeks. Is my RAM or HDD on the death bed?

I was also facing same problem, your RAM is the culprit here. Get a new one if possible.

Whole of Friday spent figuring out random grub and boot errors, and filsystem corruptions on different disks. IDE Cable was the problem.

It must be the 80 pin thin one. I call it the 'panavti' cable.

Remove your RAM, clean its gold tracks with a pencil eraser, blow air into the RAM slots and reinstall your RAM. It may help.

Definitely on my weekend menu. And RAM moves up on the Diwali list. Thanks for the heads-up.
