The current Ubuntu Desktop (standard Ubuntu) Groovy version dated Okt 17 08:30 from zsync,
- '20201017' in the testing tracker

when cloned to a USB3 pendrive, can boot
- an old HP Elitebook 8560p (in BIOS mode) - This was problematic in the previous daily iso file, it booted only the first time. Now it booted successfully 3 times in a row. The 300K partition is preserved and the ext4 partition is created correctly (and preserved between boots).
- a middle-aged Dell Precision M4800 (in BIOS mode and UEFI mode) - Works as usual.
- a newer Lenovo V130 (in UEFI mode with secure boot) - Works since GUID partition table.

I tested with a second USB drive, this time an SSD connected via a USB3 to SATA adapter and cloned from the iso file.
- I started booting the Lenovo V130 in UEFI mode with secure boot (and let it create the ext4 partition). The 300K partition is preserved and the ext4 partition is created correctly.
- Then I tested with the previously problematic HP Elitebook 8560p (in BIOS mode). It booted as it should.

It looks like you have squashed this bug. Thanks Thomas and Steve :-)
The current Ubuntu Desktop Groovy iso file works with both the old HPs and old Dells and the newer computers that we have tested.
However there are many other computer brands and models, that are not tested yet. Let us hope that there will be no severe backlash.
