Lubuntu focal daily QA-test install on
- dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550)

System had a Lubuntu 18.04 install on it
- sda6 for /
- sda7 for /home
- sda8 for /susehome (actually Lubuntu hirsute; used to access only other files on dual boot system)

No partitions were formatted, all selected and re-used

(note: this box has had issues before.. but these are partitions not used before for a lubuntu calamares install.. [it was bionic])

Box failed to boot; just gave errors (mostly read-only file-system)

I rebooted; and re-attempted the install. Same box
- dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550)
- sda6 for /
- sda7 for /home
(skipped the other partition; it can be added later)

result was same error

[Chris Guiver (guiverc)]

FYI: I booted live system again and `fsck` partitions; no issues were detected (both times)

Likely obvious (installer didn't get far enough), but I think the failure to boot (same error) is a red herring.. as grub still said 18.04.5 & kernel 5.4 not ....

Focal is EOL etc etc :)
