I installed 16.04.1 on an old HP DL180 from a usb stick. The installation went correctly, but would not boot. I booted from the usb stick in rescue mode and ran grub-install and update-grub and installed a newer kernel. I even asked the live rescue usb to reinstall the grub boot loader. No errors reported anywhere. When I reboot without the usb stick in, it fails to find grub and just gives a blank screen. When booting from the usb stick as boot from first disk it still goes blank and can't find grub.
I reinstalled from 14.04.5 on a usb stick with all the same parameters and it works fine. Then I did an upgrade to 16.04.1 and it works fine also.
