On which hardware? And which 'same' kernel panic?
I was asking for information above (serial console or photos from display) for a reason. We're neither mind readers nor will we buy the new RPi -- at least I won't since why should I buy in 2018 such an ultra slow SBC for a NAS?)
I will try again with the latest firmware on my Rpi 3b+, the kernel panic I was seeing was 'Kernel panic not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Exited" see attached
Never mind, they shipped me 2 Model B+, not 3 Model B+ doh!
