Please try passing console=tty0 to the kernel.
Note: you can also use IPMI Serial-over-LAN on this system to perform a serial-console install w/o a physical RS-232 setup.

Note that with the HWE kernel, this also requires vga=efifb:off (see LP: #1755304). As this is working as designed, I'm going to close as Invalid.

Changed in debian-installer (Ubuntu):
