To José Marinho (jmarinho)

I'm not a developer, but involved in QA-testing primarily with Lubuntu.

Today's hirsute (Lubuntu) daily was written to media using

`sudo dd bs=4M oflag=sync status=progress of=/dev/sdb if=/de2900/lubuntu_64/hirsute-desktop-amd64.iso`

and it was test booted on a number of BIOS devices (see http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/419/builds/228949/testcases/1303/results)

The last device (thinkpad sl510; c2d-t6570) was rebooted & using the installed bionic system, the Ubuntu Desktop hirsute daily was written to a thumb-drive using usb-creator-gtk (0.3.2ubuntu16.04.2)

The thinkpad sl510 was then rebooted & the thumb-drive that was just written was successfully booted on sl510 (http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/419/builds/228934/testcases/1303/results).

I cannot re-create this issue on
- lenovo thinkpad sl510 (c2d-t6570, 2gb ram, i915)
- motion computing j3400 (c2d-u9400, 4gb, intel mobile 4 series)
- hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)
- dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550)
- dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)
- dell [optiplex] 780 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 5000/6000/7350/8350)

being BIOS c2d/c2q devices (all tested today)
