I recently bought an Sony Vaio SVS13A1V9EB, which has a RAID between two 64 GB SSDs and a Hybrid-graphics.

(Major Issue) I want to have Windows 7 (It is preinstalled) and Ubuntu on this notebook i.e. on the RAID Drive. In UEFI boot mode, the Ubuntu installation fails to start with both Alternate- and Live-CD, throwing an Kernel Panic error.

Does anyone have suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

A kernel panic is unlikely to be caused by your partitioning. It's more likely a kernel bug or hardware incompatibility. The two easiest solutions are likely to be:

  • Return the computer and buy something else in its place.
  • Switch to another distribution.

Also, it appears that your computer is booting in UEFI mode and using GPT, which means that there's no 4-primary-partition limit as there is with older computers that boot in BIOS mode and use MBR partitioning. Thus, there's no point to deleting those two partitions except to reclaim the space they consume, which you haven't specified as an issue.
