Nevermind. I had neglected to check the SHA256 sum and so I went back
and did that check on the 2 ISO's that I had previously downloaded.
Turns out the one I was trying to install on my main machine was
corrupted.

So I disabled the corrupted drive and installed 16.04 on a second HDD so
that it could control the computer. I then mounted the corrupted drive
and did a slow zero's format on it from Disks and/or Gparted (can't
quite recall which now).

I then reinstalled the good image of UbuntuStudio 16.04 on my main
drive. We're up and running!

Thanks for your help.

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.
