[TAG] Kernel Panic Not Syncing VFS

[jose]

Hi,
  Really strange that both the livedvd and the hard disk gave the same error and even more strange that the error went away alone.Perhaps is an spurious error, if that's it, think of it as a warning of something failing in the hardware. I had I/O errors before my hard disk died.
