Public bug reported: The 64-bit 18.04 image linked from this page https://ubuntu.com/download /raspberry-pi for Raspberry Pi 3 and 4 fails to boot on my Raspberry Pi 4B (8G RAM). Boot fails with an error screen complaining that it needs newer software.
The image in question can be found at https://ubuntu.com/download /raspberry-pi/thank- you?version=18.04&versionPatch=.4&architecture=arm64+raspi3 , so at first I figured maybe the wrong one had just been linked from the downloads page (image for raspi 3 instead of 4), but it has the same checksum as the image at https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi/thank- you?version=18.04&versionPatch=.4&architecture=arm64+raspi4 , so this seems unlikely. The 64-bit 20.04 image linked from that same downloads page boots fine. Most of the text from the error screen: [note: I'm skipping some stuff here but could add it later if needed] Raspberry Pi 4 - 8GB board: d03114 a35e61b6 dc:a6:32:b1:a1:23 boot: mode 6 order 0x00000001 rsts 0x00001000 SD CID: [...] part: 0 mbr [0x0c:00000800 0x83:00080800 0x00: 00000000 0x00: 00000000] fw: start4.elf fixup4.dat net: down ip: 0.0.0.0 sn: 0.0.0.0 gw: 0.0.0.0 tftp: 0.0.0.0 Partition: 0 lba: 2048 oem: 'mkfs.fat' volume ' system-boot' [...] Read config.txt bytes [...] recover4.elf not found recovery.elf not found Read start4.elf bytes [...] Read fixup4.dat bytes [...] [...] start4.elf: is not compatible 0x0 This board requires newer software.
