[Bug 1950859] Re: Ubuntu installation failure - Vaio Nvidia and RAID connected to the problem

[Gui Badoux]

Hi Steve,
The version is Lubuntu 15.4. When I tried to upgrade this OS, a message appeared saying "to old for upgrade. Install the version 15.10". So I will download Lubuntu 15.10 and give a try.
"Nvidia pilot" means "Nvidia driver", yes indeed. 
I took some pictures of the error messages appearing during the installation.
The only working installation was the Lubuntu 15.4. To get there, I erased the four SSD disks (after removing the RAID0 from the BIOS). Then I formatted the SSD disk0 with the option "bootable" activated.
Each other installation (like the Ubuntu 20.04) done on top of this first installation failed. I tried the two options: "install aside of the previous OS" and "Replace previous OS".


** Attachment added: "TPM chip error"

Title:
  Ubuntu installation failure - Vaio Nvidia and RAID connected to the
  problem

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  At first, impossible to install Lubuntu 15 on a Sony Vaio PCG-31111M.
  By suppressing the RAID0 of 4 SSD 64Gb, I could install on the disk0. But still very unstable system.
  Then by acting on the TPM in the BIOS, a first installation was done. The TPM actions where first a CLEAR, then a ENABLED.
  In the internet comments, some people were speaking about the Nvidia processor. So I installed the Nvidia pilot (a Nvidia native pilot, but approved by Ubuntu) and finally, a first installation of Lubuntu 15 was done.
  But It's impossible to install something better, like Ubuntu 20 for example. The installation keeps crashing at the end.
  For unknown raisons, the wifi pilot was lost, and impossible to restore it.
