Same here.

I'm trying to run the 12.04 Desktop Live CD on an older system that has 9.x on it which got currupted with upgrade attempts. I burned this iso with less than 10x speed as 10x or higher was not recognized by the CDRom.

448.095485] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
448.095525] PID: 1, comm: init Tainted: G C 3.2.0-29-generic-pae #46-Ubuntu

and it goes on down to
[448.095726] panic occurred, switching back to text console.

The Caps Lock and Scroll lock keys are flashing on my keyboard as well.
