Hello!
When I write my SD card with the retropi software, then assemble the hard ware, I get errors during boot. Two of them I have noticed are listed below.
t Kernel Panic: VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (179,2)
&
Random: nonblocking pool is initialized
has anyone else seen these errors?
* things I have tried.
-reinstalling/rewriting on 3 different SD cards. (on high speed)
-when I tried to reinstall version 4.0 on my RP 2 i use aside from this kit, I get the errors on it now as well.
Thank you for any information!
Boot Errors
Re: Boot Errors
Thank you for the help, But unfortunately I am still getting the errors. I have 3 different SD cards I have tried, and a few different software systems to format and write with. All giving me the same result. Also, everything online tells me I have a bad SD card. I guess I will try a fourth Card tomorrow. I have not tried the samsung ones yet. Ill give it a try.
Re: Boot Errors
It could be that there is a problem while writing the SD card. Maybe some linux partition are left from previous writing? You can check here to format completely all partitions of a SD card :

Re: Boot Errors
Hi together,
I got the same problem.
It helps to kill the SD Card complete and restart the installation.
After that, it should work as before.
I did it with this tutorial on Youtube.
It´s in german but I think, it will help also people who don´t speak german.
