KernelPanic (new non!-user help please)

Hello,
I have tried to run TinyCorePlus (CorePlus-current.iso using core2usb via Windows7) from a 16GB USBstick but getting a boot failure, lots of white gobbldygook on a black background ending with something about a  'Kernel  panic', 'sync' something and a 'kill' .

The m/c locks up and needs a power down to reset, fortunately, without the USBstick, it boots back into Windows. Phew!
Help ! Any ideas where to start testing/checking ?

I have googled 'kernel panic' and got lots of hits. Most seem to be for installed linux's and Mac, but one suggested too little ram or a ram fault. I used Windows Memory Diagnostic (mdsched.exe) which reports no errors.

Recently I have been playing with RaspberryPi desktop live on this stick and thought (because of many re-flashings to get back to sq.one, ) that it may have become faulty, but no, I reflashed RPi back over and it boots ok.

I will continue searching through google, but hope someone here can offer a quicker fix ! :)

Info :
64bit Pentium dual core E5300 2.6GHz
4GB ram

Thanks.

Hi, thl04!
In your place i would burn the cd and try to boot using it, not flash drive. But before i would examine bios setup for something unusual. Your situation looks strange. Maybe you should try http://tinycorelinux.net/10.x/x86_64/release/TinyCorePure64-10.1.iso
simply for an attempt for normal boot.

Thanks good ideas.
 I've tried cds with Puppy, Knoppix etc in the past so I know that drive worked (but I didnt know what I was doing and no persistence didnt help !)

I have just realised I have posted in the wrong Q&A section, ooops sorry, mods please move !

core-user:
Also, check that you got a good download, sounds as if it may have been corrupted.

(I regularly put it on a pendrive, so I doubt that is your problem.)

The puzzle continues !

files are md5 ok

TinyCorePure on USB or on DVD does not boot either, but this time after the menu, just a blank screen of death - no gobbldygook text.

When I said in first post that the m/c locks up I may have been premature. This time, with TCP and a longish wait it times out and tries to re-boot. Extracting the dvd at this time then allows a boot into Windows on the C:

all very strange :(

I have two USB hdd and a 4-port hub on it, I'll try again without those {later, when I can get at the back of the m/c ! time for a re-think and a coffee} in case they are causing a conflict.

thanks.

EDIT and thanks mods for the move, sorry for that - I blame my sleepless night and too much head scratching :)
