** Changed in: syslinux (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Medium
** Description changed:
- 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.
+ 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.

+ AFFECTED VERSIONS
+ Xenial to Cosmic (perhaps even earlier)
- 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.
