[Bug 1899308] Re: failure to boot groovy daily (again)

[sudodus]

I could get a signal to an external screen from the HP Elitebook 8560p.

As I expected, it failed to boot to the current Lubuntu Groovy iso file.

In mkusb's settings menu for a persistent live drive I selected

- MSDOS partition table
- usb-pack-efi

and I could boot to this persistent live system.

So my conclusion is that we forgot about these old HP computers, when we
accepted a GPT for the Groovy iso files. They simply refuse to boot via
grub and GPT in BIOS mode.

-o-

I am part of this problem: I should have remembered and warned about it,
but maybe because my son's computer is broken, it disappeared from my
memory until I read this bug report.

  Most probably "groovy daily won't boot anymore on some older BIOS
  boxes" or the 1883040 bug, as it's impacting only my older slow boxes
  (but it's also different).

  thumb-drive has been successfully used in QA live & install tests,
  however it won't boot on

  hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)
  hp dc7900 (c2d-e8400, 4gb, intel 4 series integrated i915)

  The last timing issue also impacted d755-5 (older dell optiplex 755)
  when dc7700 was impacted, but that booted successfully this ISO.

  I see thumb-drive flash as it tries to boot, eventually it stops
  flashing, but no boot. At least 6 attempts made to boot, thumb-drive
  being tested on another 2x d755 boxes..

  ** Expected result

  It boots & is usable
