Bug Description
It doesn' t seem possible at all to install Ubuntu on this machine, which is too bad because I thoroughly destroyed the Windows install it came with :-(
It may be related to the RPMB partition issues (mmcblk0rpmb r/w command timeouts).
The kernel people will have loads of fun. Since this laptop is effectively bricked unless I boot it off a live stick, I am open to try new images. I'll give today's Vivid a spin in about 12 hours to see how far I can go.
If it helps, it's the ES1-111M-C40S, Celeron N2840.
