2018-10-07 23:17:15 ԜаӀtеr Ⅼарсһуnѕkі description Boot a lubuntu amd64-desktop iso by selecting it in the boot order menu which is f11 on my motherboard and and at the first menu select English for the language and then at that menu try to boot from the first hard disk at the try lubuntu without installing , install lubuntu... menu . It will say boot failed press any key to continue and then the system will reboot and boot up normally but will say the boot has failed. I am trying to chainload grub2 when booting from first hard disk. Description: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch) Release: 15.04 syslinux: Installed: 3:6.03~pre18+dfsg-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 3:6.03~pre18+dfsg-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3:6.03~pre18+dfsg-1ubuntu1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5cd993b01c8b6dae24ca is the iso tracker hardware profile. I expected the boot to chainload the first disk in my case my crucial mx100 ssd which is the first device in boot order. Instead my uefi system finds no bootable system and restarts. I also get the same result in some virtual machines using kvm. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: syslinux 3:6.03~pre18+dfsg-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-28.38-generic 3.16.7-ckt1 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-28-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.15.1-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CasperVersion: 1.347 CurrentDesktop: LXDE Date: Sun Jan 4 22:50:03 2015 Dependencies: gcc-4.9-base 4.9.2-10ubuntu1 libc6 2.19-13ubuntu3 libgcc1 1:4.9.2-10ubuntu1 mtools 4.0.18-2 multiarch-support 2.19-13ubuntu3 LiveMediaBuild: Lubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" - Alpha amd64 (20150104) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: syslinux UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) 1. Ensure that there is an installed OS 2. Boot to live system on BIOS 3. Select language 4. select boot from first hard drive EXPECTED RESULT The system boots normally from the first hard drive. ACTUAL RESULT The system does not boot, but instead prints "Boot failed: press a key to retry..." AFFECTED VERSIONS Xenial to Cosmic (perhaps even earlier) NOTES EFI systems use GRUB2 instead of isolinux and they don't even have the option to boot to the first hard disk, itself seeming like a bit of a bug.
