Is this another Skylake problem? It *is* after all a Skylake!
I had failures at various stages until I got help:

If it _is_ a Skylake problem, then 8.x is not enough information. You need at
least 8.3 (I managed on that), but preferably 8.4. If you can somehow manage
to get as far as booting (by hook or by crook) then the first thing you need
to do is install a backported kernel.

Or you could use Stretch!! Cutting edge and Linux are sometimes a problematic
combination.
