hi , i have the same problem on Supermicro motherboard X10SRM-F. Bios is latest (2.0a). Either Ubuntu 16.10 or Beta 17.10 - whether in UEFI mode or Legacy mode , both from USB key as well as from Virtual CDROM drive - after selecting on 1st screen (GRUB screen) - "Install Ubuntu Server" screen goes black and nothing happens. Will try your workarounds (...16) but suspect something is wrong with BIOS or Ubuntu installers.
In addition I upgraded from 16.04 (which can boot/be installed) to 16.10 and it worked fine. But when i upgraded to 17.04 (beta) - i can only boot with kernel that i carried over from 16.10 (4.8 version ) and new 4.10 and even one manually installed from kernel PPA result in black screen after selecting grub entry. That is when i tried to re-install 16.10 or 17.04 and simply cannot make any progress. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666063 Title: GNU GRUB locks up loading kernel/initrd on SuperMicro MBD-X11SAE-M To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1666063/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
