[Bug 2063962] Re: 24.04 UEFI install fails, BIOS install succeeds

[Mike Perrin]

This seems to be unique to the Q1900M board. I cobbled together another
system with an ASRock 970 Extreme 3 motherboard, Athlon II CPU and 8GB
RAM and the MATE UEFI install succeeded. Conversely a UEFI install of
Lubuntu, which uses the Calamares installer also failed on the Q1900M
system. So I don't know what the problem is but I know some things it is
not. It is not the hard disk because the install failed with a different
one. It is not memory size because it failed when I borrowed a memory
stick from another machine to get 8GB on the Q1900M.

After making two backups of my home directory and the disk image of my
target machine (An ASRock J5040-ITX board) I worked up the courage to
try 24.04 MATE there and it succeeded. It appears this is a peculiar
problem with my Q1900M test box (which had no problems with previous
Ubuntu releases). If no one else is experiencing a similar problem I
suggest we chalk this one up to no-see-ums and forget it.

Title:
  24.04 UEFI install fails, BIOS install succeeds

Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu, Ubuntu-Cinnamon and Ubuntu-MATE all fail to install when using
  UEFI but MATE succeeded when I tried a BIOS install. In all cases the
  install selections were to take over the disk, minimal desktop and no
  proprietary drivers or codecs. Hardware is an ASRock Q1900M Pro 3 quad
  core Celeron board with 4GB RAM. Attached is a screenshot of the MATE
  install log window when the failure occurred.
