Known Issues
------------
This is a list of known issues that can arise during installation.
Black screen on install
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
GRUB attempts to redirect all output to a serial port for ease of installation on headless hosts.
This appears to cause an hard lockup on some hardware that lacks a serial port, with the result being a
black screen after selecting the `Live system` option from the installation image.
The workaround is to type `e` when the boot menu appears and edit the GRUB boot options. Specifically, remove the:
`console=ttyS0,115200`
option, and type CTRL-X to boot.
Installation can then continue as outlined above.
