I also saw this in the 13.10 installer (Lubuntu 64 Saucy) with a Lenovo S205 Netbook.
This machine has a BIOS that simply ignores the disk (with no error message) unless all of the following are true: * The bootable flag must be set on at least one partition. * It must have a MBR rather than GPT. * It must have grub-0.97, rather than grub-pc or grub-efi * Only certain brands of SSDs are compatible; some don't work. Anyway, this lack of boot flag is easy to fix when noticed, but most people won't spot it. Can I suggest that the installer should always set the boot flag. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1009914 Title: No boot flag on any partition - Failure to boot after install - Acer Aspire 5720 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1009914/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
