Upgrading the BIOS to 1.6 does indeed seem to fix the problem. At least it is now allowing me to boot into live mode. It's taking a while, but is has gone past the kernel panic I was seeing earlier.
For those having trouble with the DC580 on BIOS V1.3, it should fix the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772038 Title: ubuntu/xubuntu 18.04 kernel crash during install.
