Here is a list of udeb differences between the versions:
https://paste.ubuntu.com/24718580/
Because this is occurring before the install, the udeb and kernel on the
system are what I suspect to be the root cause. I'll add the kernel to
this defect.

Title:
17.10 Install Fails to Start
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
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
