elementary OS Asked on December 18, 2021
Shortly after executing “sudo apt-get update” in Terminal I ran the remaining updates in the App Center. Once I started with these updates, I changed user accounts (stayed logged in to both). It was functional at first, I got to a new webpage before my entire OS stopped working. I could move my mouse but there would be no response from the computer.
After about 10 minutes waiting I forced computer shutdown manually and when I restarted the computer it stops mid-boot, listing the call trace and summary.
The error message that I’m getting mid-boot is: “Kernel panic – not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0, 0)”
Actually,it is not even necessary to remove older kernel. Just select during boot in grub the older kernel, run it, log to system, open terminal and type:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Additionally, what I recommend, is to check kernels this way:
sudo dpkg --list | grep linux-image
And then
sudo update-initramfs -u -k 5.0.4-generic
(use the version of the kernel which is damaged and shows kernel panic)
Then update grub
sudo update-grub
If sudo update-grub will not work, then type:
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I had the same problem. I tried removing the kernels manually with first listing them:
"dpkg --list | grep linux-image"
Then removing them with:
sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.13.0-XX-generic
But then I got an error and I was suggested to use:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
This was what solved my problem.

Choose another kernel from the GRUB menu under Advanced options for Ubuntu and run sudo update-initramfs -u -k version to generate the initrd for version (replace version with the kernel version string such as 4.15.0-36-generic) then sudo update-grub.
