Title:
  During installation: Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount
  root fs on unknown-block (104,1)

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub-pc

  Release: Karmic 9.10 current version
  Installation disk: USB flash image from karmic-alternate-lpia.iso using usb-creator.
  1GB flash drive is partitioned in a single primary partition, which is, in turn, formatted as FAT.

  Expected: Successful installation of Ubuntu on Dell Mini 12 netbook.

  What happened: 
  Computer was configured to boot from USB flash drives.
  During the installation, grub started and gave me an option to install Ubuntu.  Upon starting kernel, the message 
  Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (104,1)
  showed up and the computer hung.
