I just bought an HP Z800 workstation and I tried installing Ubuntu 16.04 from a USB stick. The USB stick booted and ran the full install sequence. I chose the following configuration:
- 500 GB drive: GRUB partition + Ubuntu partition
- 2TB drive: /home
Use LVM: one logical volume for the Ubuntu partition on the 500GB drive and 1 logical volume in the 2TB drive.
After install I get the following message from the BIOS: Attempting Boot from Hard Driver and then it hangs.
If I 'try Ubuntu' from the USB stick, fdisk reports all the volumes and disk partitions consistently with what I installed. When I mount those logical drives, the files are all there. I've re-run the install multiple times, I've run the BIOS disk drive tests with no errors (and I haven't seen anything like a hardware failure when trying to read/write to the physical disks).
I've been trying things for three days with no luck. Only the USB stick successfully boots.
