I am getting a kernel panic "not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" with kernel 4.13.0-43 on Ubuntu 17.10. I can boot just fine with 4.13.0-41. After a successful boot using 4.13.0-41 I can get 4.13.0-43 to boot if I boot in text mode and remove the quiet and splash options. Anyone have any ideas as to what is happening? My disk drive is a 250Gb disk with one partition (I accepted the default options when I installed the system).

After checking the SMART status, lets check your file system...
To check the file system on your Ubuntu partition...
sudo fsck -f /
fsck
command if there were errorsreboot
If for some reason you can't do the above...
gparted
and determine which /dev/sdaX is your Ubuntu EXT4 partitiongparted
terminal
windowsudo fsck -f /dev/sdaX
# replacing X with the number you found earlierreboot
Update #1:
Rebuild initramfs...
In
terminal
...sudo update-initramfs -c -k 4.13.0-43-generic
# update initramfsreboot
# to version 4.13.0.43Run memtest...
