[Bug 1694531] Re: 17.10 Install Fails to Start

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Moving to main-menu and closing the ubiquity task: ubiquity was
unaffected (it was an issue with a bad USB key, and ubiquity does not
use main-menu in any way). It's obviously also not a kernel issue.
Thanks for Joseph for the great debugging work!

Bug description:
  As of May 25, 2017 it appears the Ubuntu 17.10 server ISOs have failed
  to start an install. 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
