[Bug 1423526] Re: Bootloader install failure on Acer Aspire E 11 ES1 eMMC based Celeron N2840 laptop

 

I have ubuntu 14.04.1 installed on ES1-111M-C9VZ (C9VZ model listed only on acer canada), Celeron N2840.
It is the same model as other ES1-111M, with 32gb eMMC as the only storage.

Ubuntu 14.04.1 boots from USB and EVERYTHING works (wifi, video,suspend)
right away.

I installed 14.04 as the only OS (efi), as trying to install as dual
boot with Win 8.1 made Win non-bootable.

There is a problem with boot, when (appears to be) eMMC is not ready,
but second reboot and a minute or so wait end up with successful boot
(with some initial errors).

It is a great machine, no fan, runs very cold.

Title:
  Bootloader install failure on Acer Aspire E 11 ES1 eMMC based Celeron
  N2840 laptop

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Utopic:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  It doesn' t seem possible at all to install Ubuntu on this machine,
  which is too bad because I thoroughly destroyed the Windows install it
  came with :-(

  It may be related to the RPMB partition issues (mmcblk0rpmb r/w
  command timeouts).

  The kernel people will have loads of fun. Since this laptop is
  effectively bricked unless I boot it off a live stick, I am open to
  try new images. I'll give today's Vivid a spin in about 12 hours to
  see how far I can go.

  If it helps, it's the ES1-111M-C40S, Celeron N2840.
