** Description changed:

  A fresh install of Ubuntu 24.10 (also Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) with default
  partitioning (doesn't matter if encryption is used or not) results in
- "Invalid partition table!" on Dell E7440. The system still boots
- normally after pressing Enter. This is regression as it didn't happen on
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
+ "Invalid partition table!" on Dell E7440 (legacy boot without Secure
+ Boot enabled).

+ The system still boots normally after pressing Enter. This is regression
+ as it didn't happen on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
  
  This seems to affect especially Dell computers:
