The Ubuntu / Xubuntu ISO DVD's seem to be intelligent enough to boot if the BIOS has only legacy support or new EFI / UEFI support. Perhaps that is the area of Ubuntu that has the issue... that the EFI / UEFI detector fails to detect, so boots in legacy support mode? For this system, manually partitioning off the Live DVD with Gparted, msdos partition table, one large xfs partition mounted as root. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1962470 Title: Jammy Live installer not producing booting gpt partition table / EFI partition hard drive installations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1962470/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
