cannot mount root filesystem on 10.04
- by howaryoo
I tried to apply the recommendation of question:
Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
After running that command:
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
I get this error message:
mount: mount point /mnt/dev does not exist
fdisk -l returns
/dev/sda1
/dev/sda2
/dev/sda5
do I need to mount sda2 and sda5?
Edited after @psusi's comment:
/dev/sda1
is the boot file system
It seems that I need to mount sda2 or sda5. Here is what I tried:
(I tried this on a virtual machine so the sda(s) are now vda(s) )

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/vda5 /mnt
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/vda5,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/vda5 /mnt

Any info that can help me rescue that server would be greatly appreciated!
