First: I am a Linux newbie. Don't hurt me :-) !

Configuration: Old bios (2003), ATA bus for harddisk. Adaptec SCSI 29320ALP card in PCI slot, default settings. SCSI cable with terminator at one end: End without terminator connected to Adaptec card, end with terminator connected to an magnetic/optical removeable drive. The Adaptec SCSI BIOS sees the drive correctly as devive #0, the card itself is address #7.

When installing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS / 32 bit on the computer, the installation stopped front up and dropped to the text monitor with Kernel Panic (as in title) and could not continue.

I removed the SCSI cable from the Adaptec (I kept the Adaptec in the computer), and now Ubuntu could be installed.

After installation, I re-attached the SCSI cable to the Adaptec. Now, Ubuntu again dropped to the text monitor with Kernel Panic (as in title) and could not continue.

Suggestions?

I would suggest trying an install with 13.10 as it has a newer kernel release.

If the problem still persists then you could try to (update to the most current kernel) retest and (submit a bug report) if it doesn't already exist.

EDIT:

More details here: What is kernel panic?

Could be a missing module?
