Title:
  operating system cannot boot on eMMC memory

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I used ubuntu-mate 22.04 installer (i downloaded it on april 13th). on
  a usb stick (using dd) to install ubuntu-mate on a lenovo ideapad 1
  14ADA05 (MTM : 82GW0021FR).

  The laptop comes with eMMC 64Gb memory. The 22.04 installer manage to
  detect the eMMC drive (former installer couldn't) and did the install
  perfectly. But I couldn't boot on the eMMC after completing the
  install. Computer starts and is caught in "reboot system" loop (black
  screen, grey screen, etc)

  I booted on the ubuntu 22.04 flash USB and started Gparted. GParted told me that the FAT32 /boot/efi partition had issues (error message said that DOSFSTOOLS and MTOOLS were missing). I used apt-get to install both packages and performed a
      sudo dosfsck -rV /dev/mmcblk0p1
  from terminal. And it solved the problem at startup. Computer now starts fine.

  What I expected was that OS boot at first time. But I had to manually
  perform dosfsck on the FAT32 partition. I guess the installer might do
  it by itself, maybe the live system might include both DOSFSTOOLS and
  MTOOLS to properly configure this FAT32 /boot/efi partition in case of
  eMMC memory. I understand that linux-kernel only recently managed eMMC
  chips.

  Thx for your work anyway
