kernel panic not syncing
full error message:
kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
indicates initramfs for the specific version of kernel is missing(a file looks like initrd.img-6.5.0-15-generic under /boot)
solution: boot into the system somehow(recovery mode, another kernel, live CD)
sudo update-initramfs -u -k version # replace version with 6.5.0-15-generic sudo update-grub
