There is a known issue where the kernel update for Almalinux 9.6 sometimes does not build the initramfs containing the required drivers to boot the system.
This issue will present as a kernel panic on boot, with the following error showing in the console:
---[ end Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) ]---
The console can be accessed via https://cp.blacknighthosting.com > Services > click on your VPS service > noVNC console
To resolve this issue, reboot the VM and in the console - pick one of the older kernels showing during the grub prompt. When booted on the older kernel, log in using the root credentials and run the following command.
dracut --regenerate-all --force
Once this has completed, reboot the VM and it should work as expected. If you continue to experience difficulties, please contact support.
