The workaround was to not select the overwriting option. Avoiding that led to a successful install, and there haven't been any subsequent panics (of any sort) with the actual installation. (I wasn't able to get a log of the panic, but I do have a photo of the screen that shows most of it.) The GUI installer was unusable as the pointer from trackpad wouldn't work properly, it constantly jumped around the screen at the slightest touch. Note that this isn't an issue with the actual installed desktop (Gnome 3), it was only a problem with the GUI installer. I switched to the text-based installer to work around this. (Sorry about the delayed report, I simply haven't had time to get around to it until now. I doubt anyone will be too concerned about the hardware specifics, but this panic may occur for someone else. The laptop in question is basically being used as a demonstration that something that old can still be usable and as an introduction to FOSS.) Dave
