According to #13, we cannot mark this bug "Invalid" for GRUB. For information, other computers use the same 32-bit CPU (Atom Z2760) as the ACER W510: Samsung Smart PC, Asus VivoTab Smart, HP Envy x2, Lenovo Lynx... Concerning #12, booting the Ubuntu CD/USB in Legacy mode does not imply that the fi

An example of that is the ACER W510 mentioned before. I cannot believe that is the only one and more will likely appear in the (near) future. S
