Bug#817946: Installation of Debian 8.3 alongside another distro renders it unbootable

Package: installation-reports

Version: 8.3

Hello. I just installed Debian 8.3 in a partition alongside Ubuntu 15.10 
on a Lenovo X230 Tablet.


Everything goes okay, and it claims that it writing the boot record should 
be safe and will preserve the Ubuntu 15.10 that it found.

However, upon rebooting, Ubuntu no longer boots. Its graphical booting 
sequence just hangs on the little logo with dots moving along.

In the terminal 1 screen, the following errors are reported:

tpm_tis  A TPM error (6) occurred atempting to read a pcr

drm: intel_set_pch_fifo_underrun_reporting:  ERROR   uncleared pch fifo 
underrun on pch transcoder A

drm: intel_pch_fifo_underrun_irq_handler: PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun

It hangs there until I hard-reboot the machine.

The new Debian installation boots fine, but no matter what the details of 
what is going on in Ubuntu, the installation of Debian next to another OS 
should not have broken the other OS.
