Re: kernel panic - not syncing: VFS - unable to mount root fs onunknown-block

You need to use the initrd.  See the man pages for update-initramfs and 
maybe mkinitramfs.  The initrd is where all the drivers get loaded and 
hardware is detected in an Ubuntu system.  It is required for root to be 
on LVM.
