** Description changed:
Testing the 14.04 daily server images, I noticed a minor error popping
up at boot time. See attached photo.
I call this 'minor' because the system will still boot by itself within
10 seconds or so of the error popping up.
This only seems to happen so far with Advanced Format disks when
installed in EFI mode. I tried two different hard drives and got the
same result.
Systems that are not equipped with Advanced Format disks but installed
in EFI mode do not show this error.
Steps to reproduce:
- 1) Install 14.04 amd64 daily server build.
- 2) System needs to have an Advanced Format disk installed and needs to be
booted in EFI mode.
+ 1) Install 14.04 amd64 daily server build. Select the 'use entire disk'
option to auto-partition the drive.
+ 2) System needs to have an Advanced Format disk installed in it and needs to
be booted in EFI mode.
Actual Results:
Installation finshes fine but upon reboot the "failure writing to sector"
error pops up after the grub menu. System will boot on its own after about 10
seconds.
Expected Results:
- Boot without the error message
-
+ Boot without the error message.
