I made a USB with 19.04 following the guide and tried to start it for installation, but I got a kernel panic. I tried an older version and couldn't install it either, but a 14.04 LiveUSB worked OK when I made it earlier. How do I solve the kernel panic problem with installation?

Yes I did try LTS and also checked the USB - it is completely fine; I can install a VM with the USB but not on my computer.

  • Here are relevant troubleshooting steps: 1) This guide https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu or this https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows or some other guide? 2) Did you checksum-verify the downloaded ISO before making the LiveUSB? 3) Please download 18.04.3 https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop , verify w/ checksum, and make a LiveUSB, and test installation with the stabler LTS version. Please click [edit] and post the answers to 1, 2, and 3 in your question. Please don't use Add Comment; instead, please use [edit]. – K7AAY Sep 11 '19 at 20:18
  • Nvidia hardware will need the "nomodeset" edited onto the grub line starting with "linux" at the words "quiet splash" (editing instructions at bottom of grub menu page). Try adding acpi=no to see if the installation works, then refine the acpi switch to the minimum necessary (for problems like seeing only 1 cpu, etc.). – ubfan1 Sep 12 '19 at 03:04

I was wondering if you had taken out the computer battery and reset the cmos. Worked for me when I couldn't install today.
