On another attempt, I got his message:

Load debconf preconfiguration file

Failed to retrieve the preconfiguration file

The file needed for preconfiguration could not be retrieved from 
file:///cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-server-auto.seed. The installation will proceed in non-automated mode.

Title:
  14.04 server's Installer Hangs after Scanning CD During Installation

Status in debian-installer:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The problem I'm having has been expalained here:
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2219435

  During installation of Ubuntu Server 14.04.1, there is point where it
  scans the "cd" (even if you are booting from DVD or USB it still says
  "CD" -- I've tried both ways).

  After this completes, it hangs indefinately on a purple screen with a
  grayish-white bar at the bottom.

  I believe it is hanging right before the point where it detects your
  network cards.

  Others say, that if you wait 15 minutes, the installation will
  continue installation. I had to wait 18 minutes before installation
  continued.

  What is going on here? I will try to post hardware specs later.
