Hello everyone,
I'm still pretty new to Linux and I'm having trouble installing CentOS 7 on my new Asus laptop. When I boot from the installation USB, I get an error after I choose an option on the first menu (install CentOS, Repair a CentOS system, etc.) No matter which option I choose the same thing happens.
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Kernel Offset: disabled
Below is a screenshot of the boot page.

I have disabled secure boot and fast start in my BIOS, also tried enabling CSM support but still had the same problem. Any suggestions on how I can get around this issue? Thanks in advance.

Re: Kernel Panic when installing CentOS from USB
Make sure the sha256sum of your downloaded iso file matches the list published in the release notes - https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7
Make sure you use a utility that's known to work from our list in http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey

The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Hello TrevorH, thanks for your response. I matched the checksum with the file and it said it was okay, and I have tried using Rufus, win32DiskImager, and Fedora Live USB creator, all with the same result.
I have also used this file to install Centos on an older Dell laptop. That installation worked fine, and I also tested the USB on my desktop computer just to see if it would boot. It did boot and went to the GUI installer. So I think it might have something to do with my new laptop itself.
Do you have any ideas as to what it could be?
