I’m on debian 11, this error doesn’t show up every time, but once it appear I need more that one reboot and it will fix automatically without doing nothing, don’t know the reason why (just read that can be kernel dependent). What I want to avoid is that maybe it’s just a warning of somethink that will cause a pc break in future (maybe hardware is starting working bad?) Do you have any sugggestion? Thanks

    Kernel says it can’t mount root device. Maybe it is not specified or kernel just can’t find it. You need to edit root= parameter for kernel. For:

    1. GRUB: press ‘e’ to edit menu entry and then press ‘F10’ to boot
    2. LILO: just append desired root=
    3. EFIStub: change it in config and recompile it

    If you use GRUB you can use its console and search for disk and partition where root fs is located.
