I just downloaded the newest version of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/)
and created a USB UEFI boot media (with Rufus 2.8).
The boot is going fine, but when I press "install ubuntu server",
I get stuck on the first panel (language selection).
I read, that the possible error could be the USB keyboard,
so I tried a different keyboard, but the problem still exists.
Then after some trial and error, I went under "check disk failures"
and this error message appears: "Error while running 'modprobe -v usb-storage'"
Is there a problem with the brand new Ubuntu 16.04 LTS AMD64 image when it is installed in UEFI mode?
edit: So I tried the same iso in a VM, and the VM installation was a success. Next, I am going to use another USB Stick for installation.
edit2: new USB Stick -> same problem.

I also have the same problem. I solved it by disabling SecureBoot in my BIOS settings. I have ability to disable SecureBoot and keep enabled UEFI. Some guys on other forums use legacy bios. I use rufus 2.8 and follow settings
