Acer CB715 BARD has eMMC write error for Linux Mint above 22.1

System Details

  • Device: [BARD]
  • OS: [Linux Mint 22.2 and 22.3]
  • Firmware Type: [UEFI Full ROM]
  • Firmware Version: [As reported by the script]
  • Internal storage type: [eMMC] (if applicable)

Summary of the Issue

When installing LM 22.2 or 22.3 I get an eMMC write error and the install quits. 22.1 does load fine.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install from live USB

  2. during install it prompts a write error to eMMC

Expected Behavior

[What should have happened?] It should have installed and not errored out.

I’m happy with 22.1 so I will use it. On this Acer CB715 the sound doesn’t work even with the weirdtreething work around. Again, I can live with it as this is the 2nd CB715 I’ve put Mint on and I would prefer LM over Google’s tentacles watching every move.
