Trying other options like 'rescue a broken system' or 'Install MAAS [Region|Rack] Controller' have the same issue. Expected results: The Ubuntu Server installer menu system should have started asking for a language or keyboard mapping. Steps to reproduce: 1. Download an ISO dated after May 24 (server or desktop) [1] 2. Boot system to ISO 3. Choose language 4. Select 'Install Ubuntu Server' 5. Black screen will flicker with blinking cursor in bottom left Investigation: Running 'Check the disk for defects' finds nothing wrong. The last few syslog entries do not give any glaring issues: acpiphp: Slot [30] registered acpiphp: Slot [31] registered PCI host brdige to bus 0000:00 random: crng init done: 0xffffffffffffffff max_cycles: 0x39c5 [1] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1694531/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
