With the same Xubuntu 20220402 Daily jammy-desktop-2022-04-02-amd64.iso I thought to do an automatic partitioning installation. I knew I would not end up with a XFS formatted root partition, but a booting system with gpt partition table would be better than a non-booting system.
The installer created the following partitions: sda1 1MB BIOS BOOT sda2 500MB EFI System sda3 1TB / ext4 So, an additional partition my working Xubuntu 20.04.2 system did not require... the 1MB BIOS BOOT partition. I had high hopes... Nope! Still will not boot from the HDD. I mentioned in my failed installation test results I would update this same defect case with the results of the failed auto partition installation attempt. The only way I can make Xubuntu 22.04 boot on this system is to manually bring up Gparted, create a blank MSDOS partition table, and then a single 1TB / xfs partition... it boots just fine with that legacy configuration... which I do not install as the BIOS is new enough to support UEFI Smart Boot... which I have that disabled. Test system is based on a Intel DG33BU motherboard and Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 CPU -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1962470 Title: Jammy Live installer not producing booting gpt partition table / EFI partition hard drive installations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1962470/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
