My problem might be a combination of two problems:

  1. After an installation of python3-dev package on my Ubuntu 16.04 I was asked to reboot. Reboot was not successfull even in a recovery mode. Following error appeared:

    Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

    You can follow this link for basically the same problem (non of the solutions worked for me): Attempted to kill init.

  2. Finally I decided to install a newer Ubuntu (Ubuntu 18.04). I created bootable USB using Rufus 3.1 and successfully booted USB. I accessed welcoming menu with options and selected Install Ubuntu.
    I received the same Kernel panic error. With the same USB I can install Ubuntu on another computer without problems. If that helps, PC is bootable in Windows 7. I tried to search in BIOS but found nothing suspicious.

Anybody any idea how to fix this please???

    Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. The first thing I'd try is a fsck (xfs_check or a file system check as appropriate for your file system) from your 'live' install-media. If any errors, or issues are found, I"d then try rebooting your [existing] Ubuntu system. – guiverc Jul 26 '18 at 09:56
  • Did you got this error during installation or after installation? – abu_bua Jul 26 '18 at 10:28
  • guiverc: I am trying to use fsck from live usb but somehow I cannot open terminal abu_bua: neither... I get this error after I select Install Ubuntu from the menu – tyraell Jul 26 '18 at 10:44
  • guiverc: selection of any option - even Try without installation gives the same Kernel error – tyraell Jul 26 '18 at 11:36
