I just used a brand new 16 gb micro SD card, redownloaded the image on a different computer, used a totally different adapter to read/write on the micro SD card, and I still came up with the same issue when trying to boot for the first time. It always ends with the same failure:
end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (179,2). The only reason I can even see this failure is by using the HDMI output.
All of the blog posts I've found dealing with the issue are using different cmdline.txt command files when viewed on a PC. Most recommend changing a script while booting the pi, however I'm not even getting any power to the USB port to use a keyboard to get to the config. Most of the posts where someone gets past the error aren't from any real changes to their process and appear to be almost random.
Could there be something wrong with the source file? I'm losing my mind on this one!
