could you try to boot with "nomodeset" kernel parameter? after the initial POST test press "escape" key (more time) to enter GRUB menu. move cursor on "*Ubuntu" and press "e" key. find line with something like:
linux /vmlinuz-4.4... root=/dev/... ro quite...
and append "nomodeset" to the end of this line and press "f10" key. eventually you can press "escape" key during boot.
@mpastor thanks for tip, I tried that but it had no effect (silent black screen)
Anyway, the system boots. I discovered that when I choosing "Advanced options for Ubuntu" -> Ubuntu (recovery mode)". So, something related to video card? Strangely I don't have this issue when installing OS from original Ubuntu ISO.
Regardless a black screen I am able to login via ssh normally. So the OS is running.
try to remove "splash" parameter and add "nomodeset".
if it still did not work, try add another parameter "i915.modeset=0".
@mpastor none of them helped, but I discovered that removing $vt_handoff
helps. Do you know how to modify providers/gislab-unit/iso
to remove this parameter from GRUB setparams? Ideally splash
parameter should be also removed.

I tried to create GIS.lab ISO image based on Ubuntu 16.04 Server ISO. After installation the unit refuses to boot, the result is a black screen and nothing happens. I was able to install plain OS. There were few differences, except of Apt proxy server the installer asked me also for:
The installer based on Ubuntu 12.04 works as expected (same unit, same usb flash disc, same procedure). The system boots normally.
I tried to create bootable USB disk based on original ubuntu-server-16.04 ISO. The OS after installation booted normally, so it must be something related to GIS.lab ISO creation process. Is xenial installer expected to work?
