Yes I was thinking the same thing when I read this.
I've had the same error with SUSE under two different but similar
conditions.
In the first instance I was using a SATA drive and in the other I was
using a cheap IDE Raid controller.
In both instances the OS detected everything and installed fine but
then on the first reboot the kernel panic occurred.
In both cases I solved the problem by changing hardware
configurations as in both cases the hardware choices were 'nice' but
not necessary.
If it is hardware you may want to boot via CD into rescue mode to see
if you can mount the hard drive manually (or even just to see if the
OS is still detecting all your partitions).
