That would suggest there is another issue at play.

It works for the vast majority of users who install via USB. Even the 
issue as described by the bug reports is fairly rare as it affects only 
a certain subset (buggy firmware) of systems. However, since your system 
didn't seem to boot at all that would mean that you are likely running 
into another bug. Perhaps you should file a bug report and help Ubuntu 
developers try and isolate what the bug is so that they can hopefully 
fix the issue and improve Ubuntu's hardware compatibility with 
problematic systems.
