Try using a different piece of USB installation media and re-create it. ---

Hi @mitchell_lim, Can you let me know the model/manufacturer of the SSD installed in your setup? In the previous threads I could find referencing this issue, it seemed to be due to the SSD model: > [@Kernel panic on nuc5i3yk \[NVMe incompatibility on 5th Generation NUC)](https://community.roonlabs.com/t/kernel-panic-on-nuc5i3yk-nvme-incompatibility-on-5th-generation-nuc/27396): > > Install rock on a ssd but after reboot I’m getting a kernel panic: … mount: can’t read ‘etc/fstab’: No such file or directory mount: mounting /overlay/boot/roonos-1/rootfs.img on overlay/ro failed: No such file or directory … Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000100 Hardware: ssd: intel ssdpekkw128g7 Nuc: nuc5i3ryk Memory: 8Gb Windows 10 was preinstalled on the nuc.

From the screenshot it looks like the root filesystem isn’t mounted. You have `Usage: mount [OPTIONS]` … and then `mount: mounting` errors and finally `switch root: can't exec '/sbin/init: No such file or directory'`. Could be a corrupt image file; download this again and re-flash the USB drive. ---
