Public bug reported:
I downloaded
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/20.10/release/kubuntu-20.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
and downloaded the ISO via Bittorent, wrote it to an USB stick and booted a
very ordinary PC (which has a single SATA HD) from it. I chose install Kubuntu,
chose use entire disk (guided) and successfully installed with no visible
issues (chose download from Internet during installation and install third
party stuff, but I believe this is not relevant). At the end when prompted I
chose "restart" and when the installer a few moments later asked me to remove
the boot medium and hit enter I removed the USB stick and hit enter. When the
PC rebooted then the BIOS complained that no bootable device could be found. I
did the install twice, both times with the same effect. I then installed
Kubuntu 20.04 using the same procedure, and things did work fine with 20.04.
I've successfully installed dozens of Linux distributions on that machine over
time, and it's very unlikely to be a hardware issue. To me it looks like the
Kubuntu 20.10 installer fails to properly make the disk bootable or install the
bootloader.
Prior to my installation attempt, some other Linux distro had already been
installed, but I explicitly chose "use entire disk", so that should not matter.
