I just fall myself in this case and I think this example and my reflection can help this discussion ... (Why do I think that you need not only a message, but also a choice box (legacy / efi) when installing ...)
My bios has efi disabled. I configured my boot start without efi with: 1 - cd / dvd 2 - usb 3 - HDD and I just realized that as soon as I touch this config, it automatically duplicates my choices for devices in: 4 - cd / dvd efi 5 - usb efi when I start with a cd or a usb key, it goes into auto boot and start directly by switching to 4 or 5 (!). Basically it forces the boot efi even if it is disabled and even if you have filled something else manually ... that's how I got an "install failed" If I start by doing F(4-5-6-7...) for boot option: no pb: I have my order manually filled (+ the duplicate choices in efi) I have an ASUS with a bios update (but seeing what I read on the forums, it must not be the only ones to force the efi this way ...) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1668148 Title: Booting installer in EFI mode with existing bios mode hd crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-efi/+bug/1668148/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
