If you look at the bottom of the images you snapped, the panic exits debugger due to the org.tgwdb.driver.ElliottForceLegacyRTC

 

If you do a search here on 'ElliottForceLegacyRTC' you'll see a number of posts. The key is removing it from the boot installation media. The recommendations are usually a) if installation works, but reboot fails, try booting single user and delete that from the main boot drive. more likely your case, if you can't even get install media to work, create it without the ElliottForceLegacyRTC.kext (go into shell, and cd /System/Library/Extensions and rm -rf ElliottForceLegacyRTC.kext).

 

This is easier with a USB stick as install media as you can stick that into another Mac system and simple cd /Volumes/[uSBstickname]/System/Library/Extensions, or maybe it was put into /Volumes/[uSBstickname]/Extra/Extensions. Not sure.

 

AFAIK, the main reason it's there is to work around ACPI issues and incompatibilities with vanilla OSX media with some platforms where the DSDT.aml isn't configured correctly. This is a common problem on laptops that don't have BIOS settings to adjust ACPI settings. You may want to try those. I've found ACPI 1.0 and 2.0 work on my platforms.
