    My best guess is that the drive or file system is broken.

    My better guess is that your kernel does not see your drive. If it did,
    it would not cal it unknown-block(0,0).

    Hi,

    After a fresh installation and several reboots to configure,
    booting stops at what you see here. https://easthope.ca/BootDisplay2025.04.13.jpg

    Summarizing,

    Parsing ELF... Performing relocations... done.
    Booting the kernel (entry_offset: 0x0000000000000ba3).
    [ 0.134172] x86/cpu: VMX (outside TXT) disabled by BIOS
    ...
    [ 0.463676] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on "/dev/sda6" or unknown-block(0,0) ]---

    My best guess is that the drive or file system is broken.

    I can connect the drive to a working system and apply fsck.
    If that fails, install on sda6 again.
    If that fails, partition the drive again and reinstall again.
    If that fails, the drive is probably dead.

    Feedback?

    Thx, ... P.

    Boot a live system and try to mount the file system there.
    Also consider running badblocks in non-destructive mode on the disk.

    If that works, the disk and file systems are fine.

    Also try to boot older kernels.
