Hi, I own a Fujitsu Lifebook A532 and I have same problem. I used a HDD with Windows 10 and would try Ubuntu 14.04. I put a new HDD, download Ubuntu, make a USB bootable and install Ubuntu with default. All is working. I decided then to put back my first HDD with Windows and I when I but.. there is Phoenix SecureCore Tiano on the screen, and no F2 or F12 solution !! Menu is asking ubuntu or Diagnostic... What the hell ? I want my Windows back :o) shame on me. The only solution to make booting my HDD with Windows is to put off BIOS battery. Then F12 is working but F2 still no longer. I did not try to play with some pins... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082418 Title: [Fujitsu Lifebook AH532] Ubuntu UEFI install locks out UEFI firmware (~bios) access Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 apt-cache policy grub-efi-amd64 grub-efi-amd64: Installed: 2.00-7ubuntu11 Candidate: 2.00-7ubuntu11 Pheonix Secure Core Tiano bios version 1.09 New laptop Fujitsu Lifebook AH532.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1082418] Re: [Fujitsu Lifebook AH532] Ubuntu UEFI install locks out UEFI firmware (~bios) access
Is this bug still considered important (amongst the 3500 other bugs in the list)? I just encountered a slightly different flavour of this one, and can provide some input before I try vikings777's fix. I've been running pre-installed Windows 7 on a Fujitsu AH532 since 2012. Two weeks back, I installed a Live-USB with Ubuntu 14.04. All working well, but I struggled getting it persistent, so I decided to do a full Ubuntu installation to another USB-drive. Leaving my Windows hard drive untouched. 1) I entered my BIOS to change boot order, and booting from my Ubuntu Live-USB. 2) I followed a installation guide (don't remember now which one on the top of my head), and partitioned my second USB-drive with a BIOS boot partition, an UEFI partition, a main partition and a swap partition. 3) I installed Ubuntu on a second USB-drive. Leaving my Windows hard- drive intact (???) Now, I can only boot my machine by inserting my second full- installation-USB-drive. I cannot boot Windows, and I cannot boot from my LiveUSB. If I boot without inserting my full-installation-USB-drive, I get the boot screen telling me I can press F2 or F12, none which work, as described by others before me, apart from making the correct beep. Then I enter the Boot menu (incl Application menu). I even physically removed my Windows hard drive, but the same thing happens. If anyone has time and interest to look at this, now a tad old issue, let me know what sort of debug reports you want, and I'll try to help.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1082418] Re: [Fujitsu Lifebook AH532] Ubuntu UEFI install locks out UEFI firmware (~bios) access
I have Lifebook LH532 and for almost 2 years not a problems with EFI boot (installed ubuntu(derivertives multi boots) more than 20 times) until I upgrade 750GB (MSDOS) with new empty 1TB (was formated to MBR-MsDos) and installed ubuntu 14.04.1 as only OS in 1TB and let ubuntu did that automatically, (1st choice installation) it made 1TB as GPT and did UEFI installation. Ubuntu 14.04.1 hacked and blocked firmware Bios, no more F2 Bios option and F12 boot menu. Yes I confirm as this bug and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1273060 - I have upgrade ubuntu 14.04.1 installation to 14.10 reboot and try to do what david6 (andrew-dowden) wrote on 2015-04-13: said above. Press Esc produce only to interupt grub boot menu to grub (grub promt) So it is not workaround for me at the moment. david6 please explain details of what your procedures and the end results please. I have not tried fresh install Ubuntu 14.10 === My Fix and workaround. In short process. 1. Short circuit CL1 and CL2 as posts above, to get F12 boot menu. 2. Boot with live Ubuntu then convert GPT 1TB to MBR 1TB (using gdisk) 3. Install Ubuntu on one of the partition of MBR 1TB, (I made 6 partitions). Result = multi boots ubuntu no more F12 boot menu wrecking. Now I can install Windows and other Ubuntu derivertives, no issue on usb nor DVD boot choices. Conclusion Don't allow your harddisk to be made to GPT before ubuntu installations. if you are not 100% that your BIOS is compatible with Ubuntu GPT-UEFI installation., By forcing your harddisk to be MBR or MSdos format, before Ubuntu installation. That prevent UBUNTU to be installed in GPT-UEFI that can wreck your Bios. (And do not allow Ubuntu to install in the first choice, by UBUNTU's ways, you must select the last option, choose your own ways of installations.) I have not flash Bios since mine LifeBook was bought in Thailand and those above links are UK models. So I did not dare to flash Bios yet. But I can install the same Ubuntu 14.04.1 many times without wrecking F12 boot menu any longer. for newbies to ubuntu So It is the GPT of the harddisk that force Ubuntu to install as UEFI mode and wreck Fujitsu Bios. It is the worst bug (from user point of view) I found on Ubuntu for my life. Ubuntu GURUs must do somethings. This give bad names to ubuntu. The computer technician quote $100 to fix my Bios. = Propose simple problems reductions or preventive solutions (for under 2TB Disk). 1. During Installation, there must be warning message about making harddisk into GPT partition type with very prominent LETTERING that this GPT and UEFI installation could wreck the Bios of your computer. (Many computer's Bios are not compatible with UBUNTU UEFI installation and result in blocking further use of Bios, and with samples models Fujitsu and many others.) Proceed with your own risk or Choose to do the MBR and Bios installation option. then safe old days of installations are done. 2. The installation process check the troblesome models of computers and just force Bios-MBR installations for those troblesome machines in the only Bios-MBR lists. But perhaps it should have the option of EXPERT MODE that can override this forced Bios-MBR installation. = Propose alternative solution. Request to the UBUNTU and Grup Gurus to do the Smart Grup Auto Boot Menu Regardless of UEFI successful installations or not. Grup will install an auto detect boot media and creat options for user to boot from the choices as those provided by the Bios. So we don't have to fix the bugs immediatly but user can carry on their other installation choices. But the Bios will be wrecked still. So the previous proposals should be in placed as well. = Thanks every one who try to help our communities. And I hope the Guru will fix this bug soon. ** Changed in: shim (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082418 Title: [Fujitsu Lifebook AH532] Ubuntu UEFI install locks out UEFI firmware (~bios) access Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Expired Status in shim package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 apt-cache policy grub-efi-amd64 grub-efi-amd64: Installed: 2.00-7ubuntu11 Candidate: 2.00-7ubuntu11 Pheonix Secure Core Tiano bios version 1.09 New laptop Fujitsu Lifebook AH532.

I have now got MBR 1TB ubuntu installation. Is it worth to file that ubuntu-bug linux ? Since only the Bios need to be flashed. And the report would not show the Bios problems, would it shows? And the F12 Boot Menu is working perfectly now. My concern for the reporting are, 1. david6's work around is not working for me and I spent 4 hours upgrading that 14.10, so I hope he response with more details. So others will not spend their times on the wrong path. 2. My fix and workaround aren't mention anywhere so I hope this will hellp others to at least stop further repeated problems. Though they may not be able to flash Bios, like me. 3. Make proposal to ubuntu installation programing team to imporove user's warning and alternative workaround options. Please suggest is this the place to voice opinion on this matter.
