I’ve tried the network, desktop, and server install images for 18.10, 18.04, and 16.04. All of them display the grub menu correctly, but display a flashing screen of random characters when any option is selected, as seen below

I’m using a non-EFI graphics card, but as far as I know, that’s only an issue before the boot media is selected.
