I found a way to reproduce this bug and am currently bisecting it. 15.04 can be installed using the "Fast Installer". This will work without causing a panic on install.
I then installed the intel-gpu-tools test package. Using the following test from intel-gpu-tools will cause the panic: kms_pipe_crc_basic --run-subtest hang-read-crc-pipe-B -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438853 Title: [Anders-2]Ubuntu 15.04: Kernel panic seen during installation Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in maas package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux source package in Vivid: In Progress Status in maas source package in Vivid: New Bug description: Ubuntu 15.04 fails with Kernel Panic.
