Ubuntu server 13 hangs on boot
- by Slava Fomin II
I formatted my WD30EFRX 3TB SATA HDD as GPT with the following layout:
200 MB FAT32 (BOOTABLE)
50GB EXT4 (Mount point: /)
4 GB SWAP SPACE
~2.9 TB EXT4 (with no mount point)
Then i created a Flash USB using Rufus 1.3.3 and the following ISO-image: ubuntu-13.04-server-amd64.iso. I used following configuration to create the USB:
GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer
FAT32 (16KB)
I successfully booted from this USB on my Intel D510MO motherboard in UEFI mode (there were a black and white boot loader menu instead of a colorful GUI) and installed the OS. During the boot loader installation i saw it was grub-efi-amd64 as it must be.
After installation i removed the flash drive and tried to boot the system, but just after a BIOS POST it hangs (there is a white blinking cursor at the left top corner of the black screen) and nothing happens.
UEFI Mode is enabled in the BIOS configuration and i've updated the BIOS to the latest firmware.
What went wrong, how i can confirm that system was installed properly?
How can i boot the OS?
