[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1734147] Re: Ubuntu 17.10 corrupting BIOS - many LENOVO laptops models

2017-12-21 Thread Farouk Lemyesser 
I currently don't have this problem on my Lenovo Ideapad 310, I want to
ask if this problem may still affect my computer anytime soon. I also
want to know if my computer will be affected if my computer is UEFI.
Thank you very much.

Bug description:
  SRU Justification

  Impact: Many users are reporting issues with bios corruption with
  17.10. This seems to stem from enabling the intel-spi-* drivers in the
  kernel, which don't appear to be ready for use on end-user machines.

  Fix: Disable this driver.

  Test Case: Fix has been verified by our HWE team on affected hardware.

  Regression Potential: Minimal, it's unlikely anyone is actually doing
  anything which requires this driver.

  Hi all,

  Basically on Lenovo Y50-70 after installing Ubuntu 17.10, many users
  reported a corrupted BIOS.

  It's not possible to save new settings in BIOS anymore and after
  rebooting, the system starts with the old settings.

  Moreover (and most important) USB booting is not possible anymore
  since USB is not recognized. It's very serious, since our machines do
  not have a CDROM.

  Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.

  Thank you!!

   UPDATE (20/12/2017)

  update: updated the BIOS to the latest version but the problem
  persists.

  Booting with the older kernel (latest linux kernel from 12.10) every thing 
works fine. After upgrading to Raring Ringtail Ubuntu 13.04, with the new 
kernel, hardware get blocked/disabled and wireless doesn't work:
  0: phy0: Wireless LAN
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: yes
  1: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no

  WORKAROUND - is only applicable to Asus Notebooks/netbooks that use the 
asus_nb_wmi driver:
  Create and edit asus_nb_wmi.conf file with this command:
  sudo echo options asus_nb_wmi wapf=4 | sudo tee 
/etc/modprobe.d/asus_nb_wmi.conf
