[Bug 1198686] [NEW] Freshly-installed system won't boot on Eee PC

[max thom stahl]

Public bug reported:

When I install Ubuntu or Xubuntu on my Eee PC, the install happens with
no errors or troubles of any kind, the liveUSB environment works
perfectly, but when I reboot, my Eee PC 1215B laptop stops with "Reboot
and select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot
device and press a key". I have tried manually installing grub, manually
partitioning, and even fully manually installing Funtoo linux on the
system, but nothing has worked. The system is there, installed, when I
chroot into it from the liveUSB, but it's not able to boot.

Same results from installing 12.04 and 13.04.

** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
