Hi,
I have quite the same problem with my laptop: kubuntu freezes at install; even 
the live CD crashes when re-launching the x server. I've encontered the same 
problem with many other linux distribution as fedora, mandriva, debian, 
opensuse 10.2 or archlinux.
In my case, the problem seems to be my graphic card (VIA Chrome 9 HC IGP) which 
is not supported by generic linux drivers (as vesa). Even viaarena does not 
give linux support for that card!
Many distribution can drive that graphic card (with vesa) but are unable to 
switch it of; so the screen blanks when trying to restart the xserver...
Nevertheless, the latest version of opensuse (10.3) installed and worked 
succesfully (except the battery level unavaible).
Is a graphic card able to create kernel panics?
I have no other idea.
These are the characteristics of my laptop:
graphic card : VIA Chrome9 HC IGP
network cards : Atheros AR5006EG wireless & VIA Rhine II fast ethernet adapter
DVD: optiarc DVD RW AD-7540A
HD: Samsung HM129JI
Monitor : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
processors : 2x Genuine intel CPU [EMAIL PROTECTED],86GHz

Thanks a lot; 
regards.
