Ubuntu 17.04 Live USB: end Kernel panic

Question

I made an Ubuntu 17.04 Live USB using Startup Disk Creator in order to install Ubuntu on my Laptop/tablet hybrid, then once I booted it on that device and selected "Try Ubuntu without installing" I got the following:

[   10.665438] Initramfs unpacking failed: LZMA data is corrupt

[   10.838226] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)

Then I tried booting it on the machine that I created the USB on, which has Ubuntu 17.04 already installed and running just fine, and I got the same result (except for the device name obviously). I also tried burning the ISO onto the USB using Disks, but I got the same exact result on both devices. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

The device I am installing it on is a Lenovo MIIX 310, which successfully booted 16.04 from the same USB stick. I might install 16.04, then upgrade through it, but I prefer to install 17.04 as I already have the ISO.

Solution

Turns out to be a bad ISO. Re-downloaded and fixed this problem.

Mos tlikely a bad download or bad burn. See help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes

@bodhi.zazen I would say it is a bad download because I used a torrent to download it.

Check the sum. Torrents are usually very reliable.
