@ Matthew Gregg Yes is does have an nVidia card...but I don't think
that's the problem. No matter which kernel I try (all variations of
4.2.0-35 lowlatency & generic)...I end up back at the same screen "end
Kernel panic...".

I even tried booting from a second HDD and got the same result. This is
worse than Windows Blue Screen of Death because I can't call and get
tech support and it seems to have effed my whole computer at the boot
level. I can access a basic command-line from GRUB  by pressing
"c"...but I have no clue what to due inside there to recover my
computer.

Title:
  System Crash during 16.04 Upgrade from 14.04

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I was upgrading 2 machines from Trusty to Xenial. I had success on my
  laptop...but had a system crash on my main machine running Ubuntu-
  Studio 14.04. I have tried  creating LIVE-USB's to reboot and repair
  the install...but to no avail. No matter what I do I arrive at the
  same "Call Trace" and "end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to
  kill init! exit code=0x00007f00" message.

  The system freezes at that point and there is absolutely no forward
  movement from there.

  HELP! My machine is completely crashed...I believe this is Ubuntu's
  answer to the "Windows Blue Screen of Death".

  Please advise how I can repair my Ubuntu Studio 16.04 installation.
  Thanks.
