Amazing how we can all get different results doing the same thing. :)

For me a freshly written ubuntu ISO to a USB regardless if i use Ubuntu USB creator or DD refuses to boot my old legacy gear that is the last generation phoenix bios just before EFI was released.

It shows an error just before the grub screen starts "cannot find grub_platform" then it shows the grub menu and then boots to a black screen with a blinking cursor and just sits there forever and never boots even if i leave it for 15 or 20mins before i give up.

If i look at the USB sticks first partition with gnome disks , edit partition and tick the box that says Legacy BIOS bootable then the USB stick no longer shows "cannot find grub_platform" and goes straight to the grub menu , then it boots to a black screen with a blinking cursor for about 20 seconds and then it boots as normal just like any previous Ubuntu release?
