I'm on debian 11, this error doesn't show up every time, but once it appear I need more that one reboot and it will fix automatically without doing nothing, don't know the reason why (just read that can be kernel dependent). What I want to avoid is that maybe it's just a warning of somethink that will cause a pc break in future (maybe hardware is starting working bad?) Do you have any sugggestion? Thanks

Kernel says it can't mount root device. Maybe it is not specified or kernel just can't find it. You need to edit root= parameter for kernel. For:

  1. GRUB: press 'e' to edit menu entry and then press 'F10' to boot
  2. LILO: just append desired root=
  3. EFIStub: change it in config and recompile it

If you use GRUB you can use its console and search for disk and partition where root fs is located.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
