Bug Description

not sure what happened
the original install from flash drive with 17.10 was great
after some updates reboot would hang with splash screen
had installed lamp stack
at one point I was able to get the orange splash screen to go away and I saw messages
regarding cleaning php files - don't know what the heck that is about
please let me know how to get the screen so show boot progress
that would be very helpful
I will reinstall with a slightly different method
original boot disk is ssd approx 300-GB single ext-4 partition swap on sdc1 data sdc2 home on sdb1
will change to have efi partition on sda then swap then ext-4
hopefully that solves the problem permanently

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted the installer in EFI mode. A warning message prompted you that this could be a problem and recommended performing a bios mode install instead, but you chose not to. You either need to perform the bios mode install, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.
