All very well but I still fail to see why it worked perfectly with
ubuntu versions from 19.10 through to 21.10 and only with 22.04 do I
have this problem.  To me it suggests that something in the Ubuntu
boot sequence has been changed which is causing the problem.  The
existing BIOS *can* work satisfactorily.
