It's the result of ignoring the following section of the install guide:
So, one last step is required from you before you can boot your freshly
installed Linux: Go to the directory containing the installation files
and start up a texteditor into which you need to enter just one line:
-s -k linux root=/dev/yyyy video=keep
In this line, replace the
yyyy
with the Linux partition name of the root partition onto which you
installed
More reading for you ...
