@Phillip #9 Thank you for following up on this case.
What ever partitioner the Ubuntu LiveCD GUI installer uses to partition the disk made a partition table which was incompatible with the latest BIOS available from Intel for the motherboard in this system. Placing the hard disk drive into a system with older Intel motherboard (also with latest available BIOS for that motherboard) would POST and boot properly. I have since migrated this troublesome system to Xubuntu 12.04, and that LiveCD installed BEAUTIFULLY on a brand new blank hard disk drive. So unless a different partitioner is used between the Ubuntu and Xubuntu LiveCD's, then this problem is resolved by the code in 12.04. In the case Ubuntu and Xubuntu use a different partitioner, then my success with Xubuntu 12.04 is irrelevant. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874698 Title: Ubuntu Lucid, Oneiric, and Debian 6.0.3 prevent system POST once installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/874698/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
