** Description changed:

  In clean-installed 20.04 (amd64) using "linux" and "initrd.gz" found in
  "netboot.tar.gz", kernel panic is caused by the missing
  "initrd.img-*-lowlatency" on the first boot.
  
  Procedure to reproduce the bug is as follows:
  1.)Extract "netboot.tar.gz" and move the resulting directory 
"ubuntu-installer" under "/boot" in 18.04LTS (or on any systems with valid 
installation of grub2).
  2.)Boot into the installer via grub, by manually typing in
  "linux /ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux"
  "initrd /ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz"
  "boot"
  3.)Proceed with setup as usual, selecting "Ubuntu Studio Desktop" and 
"OpenSSH Server" in the package selection section (and activate realtime 
processing for Jackd2 as prompted).
  4.)Installation completes as usual and the machine is rebooted. Then the user 
experiences long silence.
  5.)Force-shutdown PC, power-up again, enter GRUB by hitting Esc while in POST.
  6.)Edit the lowlatency menu by typing "e", remove "quiet" from the kernel 
option.
- 7.)At this point the missing line containing "initrd" is becomes possible 
cause of the issue. Manually typed it in, and booted the machine.

  This bug was present in 20.04(RC), and is also present in 20.04(release).

  Troubleshooting the issue is easy for the experienced, yet could be
  cumbersome for those who are not familiar with Ubuntu or any Debian-
  variant distros. Hope this gets fixed quickly.
