I downloaded and burned the Kubuntu 14.10 amd64 iso. My laptop was running Kubuntu 14.04 amd64; it is a 4-year-old Dell Studio 17. When booting from the DVD, there is a kernel panic, unable to mount root VFS, I don't think the kernel can find the image to load on the disk to bootstrap. Same thing happens when selecting the recovery option from Grub. What's the deal?

As you are booting from a DVD, the DVD itself may either be damaged or corrupted, or the .iso file you downloaded corrupted when downloading. Try re-downloading it and burning it to another disk at a lower speed, and if possible, enable disk verification in your disk burner application's settings. This method should produce a working bootable disk.
