Hmm. Quoting a bit of #193 (uocc4me / uoccdisp-uone):
> After clobbering the bios during the 17.10
Installed Ubuntu 17.10 (no dual boot, no EFI) on my Lenovo G50-70.
Ubuntu successfully installed, Laptop boots, Ubuntu works well.
But
* No longer able to boot from USB (tried several different devices)
* Boot from CD works, (can boot any OS from CD)
* BIOS settings are not being saved.

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.

I have the problem with unchangable bios settings. I can still boot
from a USB thumb drive, so I can help with testing if someone prepares a
bootable image I can put on my USB thumb drive.

I think we are off on the wrong track. This is fundamentally a CVE
against Insyde Software BIOS and possibly other vendors. Any attacker
with kernel mode access could do the same thing, regardless of Linux
install. I am not sure, but it is possible someone with admin access to
Windows could
To Paul (sabret00the), #158: FWIW, if you want everyone to be able to
see your askubuntu post you'll need to post a screenshot of it (just
attach it - not going to hurt anything...). The question was deleted so
it only loads for you. As for the deletion/closure, that sort of thing
happens a _lot_
A method to repair machines was posted earlier, but may have been missed
in the noise.
Paul Sladen in #173 suggests that blacklisting the kernel module, and
then doing TWO COMPLETE REBOOTS will allow the BIOS to recover.
Looking at the code, this seems plausible.

Can anyone confirm whether this only happens with laptops with Insyde
Software based BIOS? Or does it effect BIOS derived from AMI/Pheonix?
My Dell had Insyde Software BIOS instead of normal Dell AMI based BIOS
seen on business class laptops/desktops.

Just FYI, if you have access to grub, you can enter command monde by typing
c and then you can boot from USB :
set root=(hd1,1)
chainloader +1

My Lenovo ideapad 510-15IKB (BIOS Version 3JCN29WW; EC Version 3JEC29WW)
does NOT seem to be affected... so far. I can still change my UEFI
settings and boot Windows from GRUB.
I am currently using Linux 4.13.0-19-generic on Ubuntu 17.10. Is it safe
to update to 4.13.0-21.24 now?

Okay, so I rebooted and here is what I found (Acer Aspire E5-575G-52DA):
- Booting from Ubuntu 17.10 from USB flash drive works
- I can change UEFI settings
- I can reorder the boot device order
- I can change boot mode from UEFI to BIOS (legacy) and vice versa
- However, I have a Windows
So, how to fix laptops? Do we need to get out flash chip, reprogram it
using special device, and put it back?
