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

[Chris Guiver]

It's been a ~three hours since my last comment (#29)
and the thumb-drive no longer boots on 
- hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)

I booted it with *live* to test for http://launchpad.net/bugs/1899719
where I quote myself on saying ot occurred on 3 boxes; the purpose of
this boot was to see if this box was one of them... but it won't boot??

I ejected thumb-drive, re-inserted, flashing of thumb-drive indicates to
me (subjectively) it's being read, then ignored & hdd of 'recent'
install loads (and fast-flashing stops on thumb-drive)

thumb-drive boots on other devices still, tested on
- hp 8200 elite sff (i5-2400, 8gb, nvidia quadro 600)

Title:
  failure to boot groovy daily  (again)

Status in Ubuntu CD Images:
  Fix Released
Status in cd-boot-images-amd64 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is either a duplicate or return of
  - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1883040
  - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1886148

  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..

  (ISO written by mkusb/dus & gnome-disks [#11] is identical)

  ** Expected result

  It boots & is usable
