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

[Tapani Tarvainen]

Public bug reported:

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.

** Affects: grub (Ubuntu)
