Black screen with messages after new install 17.10

Asked by corrado venturini

I installed Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Alpha amd64 (20170919) on my PC from an USB key . The installation run without errors but after the message 'Installation complete ... restart now' i saw only 3 messages:

Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
MODSIGN: Couldn't get UEFI db list
Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
and nothing else.

After a while I pressed the power-off button and at power-on the system started ok.

I have a multi-boot on an UEFI disk:

I have the same problem installing on a different partition from DVD.

After install I have not done anything on this partition (I'm working from another one) so i may provide all the logs to help diagnose the problem.

I suggest you report a bug. Artful is not ready and not stable
