To Chris I have to admit that you are right and the system finally boots but it take ages (it takes less time if I change partition table to mbr).
I see that in the last testcase you point that the device is extremely slow and perhaps that is the bug. I don't know the specs of the device you tested, but my pc is pretty decent and it is not normal that slowness. And like I said, that wasn't the case on previous Ubuntu versions and that wasn't the case too on other distributions (Fedora, Opensuse, Debian, Devuan, etc) What is clear is that this bug must be closed and I don't know if it is better to file a new bug or that behavior isn't consider as that ** Summary changed: - HIrsute live session does not work on BIOS systems + HIrsute live session takes ages to boot on BIOS systems ** Description changed: I think the problem is the same as described here: https://discourse.ubuntubudgie.org/t/20-10-grub-error-can-t-find- command-grub-platform/4292. I can see prior to grub menu, briefly, the same error: Error can't find grub_platform. After the solution described below, this error is not showed and the system is able to boot. I try making the live usb using startup disk creator and with gnome- disks --> Restore disk image and get the same results. The live-usb has a gpt partition table instead of mbr like 20.04 live- usb has. That implies, I think, that the first one does not boot on BIOS systems and the second does. I try the same live-usb on an EFI laptop and it boots perfectly (perhaps - it takes long time). + it takes long time, but more less than in this case. If I try the solution described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1905491/comments/8 then it works. - - I think it is the same bug but I reported it again because, I don't know - exactly why, it was tagged as invalid, but I think it is a bug and it - must be solved because it's not normal that users with BIOS pc's have to - do all this procedure to get a live session working.
