Per former comment by Rickard we can consider Dev fixed, yet one might
want to look into Xenial.

Bug description:
  I use packer (https://www.packer.io) to automate the creation of
  Ubuntu virtual machine images. It's "boot_command" allows you to pass
  key presses to the installer. For 15.04, I use something like this:

  -----

              "boot_command": [
                  "<esc><esc><enter><wait>",
                  "/install/vmlinuz auto url=http://{{ .HTTPIP }}:{{ .HTTPPort }}/ubuntu-15-04.cfg ",
                  "debian-installer=en_US locale=en_US kbd-chooser/method=us ",
                  "hostname={{ .Name }} ",

                  "keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP ",
                  "keyboard-configuration/layout=USA ",
                  "keyboard-configuration/variant=USA ",

                  "initrd=/install/initrd.gz -- <enter>"
              ],

  ----

  Pressing escape twice and then enter brings you to the text mode
  interface and then it boots the installer with a preseed file served
  over HTTP:

      /install/vmlinuz auto url=http://10.0.2.2:8081/ubuntu-15-04.cfg
  debian-installer=en_US locale=en_US kbd-chooser/method=us
  hostname=myhostname keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP keyboard-
  configuration/layout=USA keyboard-configuration/variant=USA
  initrd=/install/initrd.gz --

  This successfully boots and installs on 15.04. On 15.10 it displays:

  ----

  Loading bootlogo...

  Initializing gfx code...

  ----

  And then returns to the to the language selection screen. Manually
  booting the iso and entering the text mode interface, the same thing
  happens. I've tried with both the 10/13 daily and Beta-2 images.

  I see others are running into this as well
