Raspberry PI Boot Error

The Raspberry Pi kit I purchased last week comes up with the following error when booting

1.194615 —[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2)

Not sure how to proceed to fix this issue

Thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,

It sounds like something may have gone wrong on the first boot, such as a power interruption or the like. You can repair the filesystem by following this guide (note the tips about the number that is on the end of the error line):
