Public bug reported:

This is a single operating system home pc where the system disc is a
2.5" Samsung 860 Pro 512GB mounted on a ASMedia PCIe card, I also have 3
1TB Seagate 3.5" mechanical hard drives with NTFS file system on them
which are data drives left over from the time when I used to use Windows
7, hence the NTFS partitions.

Every time I do a clean install, the following Monday I get error
messages again, and can only boot the pc via the grub menu thereafter.
Obviously Monday being the start of the new week is something to do with
it. It does not matter which day of the week I do a clean install, the
following Monday is always the same result.
