I tried to boot my system from the final/released LiveCD

Mageia-5-LiveCD-KDE4-en-i586-CD.iso

and right at boot the kernel panic happenned with this message: 

"Kernel Panic (VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) "

I have never had this problem with the live CDs of Mageia 3 and 4 on the same 
system.

Sorry for the late triaging of this bug report. The most useful next action would be to test the next set of ISOs for Mageia 6 once it will be released. You could also test Mageia 5.1 ISOs when released but it will be too late to fix it in this version.

Please also provide the output of lspcidrake -v from a working Mageia system on this computer (Mageia 4 for example).

@ bolak T

Could you do that, please?

@ isobuilders

Assigning to you, despite the lack of information, because I want to avoid that this report is forgotten when the information is supplied.

No replies from the reporter and also no people reporting hitting the same issue.

We don't know whether anyone hit this issue since 3 years ago.

closing as OLD

@ Bolak T,

Feel free to reopen this report if you still got this issue with a Mageia 6 iso.
