Confirming this issue for USB installer for both 18.04.1 and 16.04.5 on HP Compaq dc5800. The "acpi=off noapic" kernel parameter workaroud works for installing the system. And interestingly, once installed to SATA drive the system boots and behaves normally.
I'd be happy to try a new ISO or update the BIOS, for the purposes here. https://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/hp/compaq_dc5800_small_form_factor_pc_ks738pa/225069/specs/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772038 Title: ubuntu/xubuntu 18.04 kernel crash during install.
