On my Flex 3, updating Ubuntu to kernel 4.14.9 does _not_ help. Has
anyone tried a 4.15.0 RC with success?

#384, I experienced the same thing and seems like the only way to get
the Flex 3 to boot to the Ubuntu installation was to remove the battery,
unplug the CMOS battery, and remove and reconnect the hard drive, then
boot up with just the power plugged in, get into the BIOS (Fn+F2 or use
the reset button), set boot to legacy mode + legacy first, save
settings, and restart ... which obviously does not actually save to the
BIOS but after a few weeks of dealing with this problem, it's become a
bit of a superstitious ceremony.

I'm not sure if any or all of that was necessary, but it worked this
morning. :-(
