Public bug reported:

As of May 25, 2017 it appears the Ubuntu 17.10 server and desktop 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
