      I have just put together my first Raspberry pi3 and booted it up with an image of Retropie 3.8.1 Can't even get past the boot up screen. Unfortunately i have no idea what to do next. The last line of the boot up screen say:
      1.941486] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2)
      I no it is probably only simple but any help would be apreciated.

        Badly written image, or faulty sd card. What PSU are you using (output specs please) ?

          Thanks buzz. I will re-format the card (SanDisk Ultra 8Gb) Download the image again and try again. Cheers!
