Hi phenigma,
Sorry, but the loop (back to the GRUB menu) will continue forever.
I've tried the *Ubuntu selection, the advanced "kernel selection" but it's deja vu "Groundhog Day" all over again (to further push a bad quote).
Looper [silly movie](to be even more "pun"ishing.
I don't understand why other (install/systems) work and for many, many 14.04 downloads mine goes "loopy".
Cheers
