A couple of days ago I got a notification for updates, so I went ahead and ran them. After the updates, I noticed that my two finger scrolling went from reversed back to normal. “That’s weird.” I went to the touchpad settings and reversed scrolling was still checked, so I unchecked and checked again. Hmm…still not reversed. “Eh, not a big deal. I’ll just restart.”…
After restarting, I get to a black screen with this error message:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
Cpu: 5 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.2.0-2parrot1-amd64 #1 Parrot 5.2.7-2parrot1
“Well…shit.” I can still load Parrot if I choose a different version in the Advaned options in GRUB. 4.19.37 still works. After booting into that version, I tried running:
sudo update-initramfs -u -k 5.2.0-2parrot1-amd64
That didn’t fix it either. I still get the same error upon booting. Luckily I can still boot into the older version…but at this point I’m at a loss. I’m not great at troubleshooting linux on my own. Any help would be appreciated!
