Can't install Ubuntu on some Chromebook

[jeremy]

Hello,

There is a bug when you try to install Ubuntu (15.10 and 16.04) on some
Chromebook in legacy bios mode (mine is a HP Chromebook 14). When you boot
on the usb key you have this error :

*graphics initialization failed*
*Error setting up gfxboot*
*boot:*

On previous Ubuntu versions there was a workaround. You had to type "help"
(after boot:) then hit "enter".
That doesn't work anymore.

Gallium OS which is based on Xubuntu 15.04 works and don't need a
workaround. Maybe it's a good place to start.
It will be great if it can be fixed for Ubuntu 16.04 !

Thanks !
