Public bug reported: When installing with the Ubuntu LiveCD, after the initial installation and the reboot. I get a "Kernel Panic" error.
Eventually, I discovered a post that if "/etc" is installed on a separate partition, the "Kernel Panic" will occur. On my system, I had /etc, /var/, and /usr on separate partitions. I consolidated all of them to same partition as root. Thereafter the installation proceeded without incident.
