Has anyone had any issue to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Raspberry Pi 2 and 3 on a 8G SDcard ? I have already install Ubuntu Mate for Rpi2 on a 16G SDcard, and it works perfectly !
I try since few days, when i read the same problem on zdnet
Unfortunately there is a pretty significant problem at this point - and it’s not even mentioned in the ‘Known Issues’ section of the downloads page. The description at the beginning of that page says “You’ll need a microSD card which is 8GB or greater to fit the image”. However there seems to have been a mistake in the creation of the compressed image, because it wouldn’t fit on any 8GB card that I tried.
The issue is a kernel panic with the message :
unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2)
