@MeadeBaron any chance this machine has an Nvidia card? Had a similar issue on one of my hosts with Nvidia. I was able to boot into an older kernel from the Grub boot menu and upgraded the Nvidia driver from 340 to 361. Then the 4.4.0-21 kernel(current as of this post), would boot.

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.
