[Bug 1423526] [NEW] Bootloader install failure on Acer Aspire E 11 ES1 eMMC based Celeron N2840 laptop

[Ricardo Bánffy]

Public bug reported:

It doesn' t seem possible at all to install Ubuntu on this machine,
which is too bad because I thoroughly destroyed the Windows install it
came with :-(

It may be related to the RPMB partition issues (mmcblk0rpmb r/w command
timeouts).

The kernel people will have loads of fun. Since this laptop is
effectively bricked unless I boot it off a live stick, I am open to try
new images. I'll give today's Vivid a spin in about 12 hours to see how
far I can go.

If it helps, it's the ES1-111M-C40S, Celeron N2840.
