[Bug 1714445] Re: Kernel 4.4.0-93 fails to boot with Error 18

[Phillip Susi]

That sounds like an error from Grub legacy, and would have nothing to do
with the kernel.  Are you using grub legacy, or grub2?

Title:
  Kernel 4.4.0-93 fails to boot with Error 18

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After latest kernel upgrade to version 4.4.0-93 machine failed to boot
  with message

  Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS

  Selecting old kernel (4.4.0-92) it boots normally.

  This is a virtual machine (kvm) running 16.04.3. Apport report attached.
  (Couldn't use apport to send bug report as the machine is behind
  a firewall that doesn't allow that.)

  Several other VMs in the same host boot just fine with
  same kernel. 

  I presume this is a bug in Grub, but I could be wrong.
