Hi, I've seen the solution that Anthony posted and I'm grateful, but I have a few questions.
1/ If it's as simple as updating/replacing the kernel, why hasn't this fix been rolled out as a system/software update? 2/ When is it likely to roll out as an update? 3/ a/ Has the download been updated with a non-broken kernel? b/ This debacle has allowed a lot of system degradation to take place on my system to the point that I need to reinstall 17.10, this doesn't seem to be a possibility right now, or am I wrong? 4/ What changes have been implemented over at AskUbuntu to ensure that users like myself who a/ test pre-release software are able to be supported and b/ Do not have issues such as a report of a broken bios dismissed/deleted before they're investigated adequately and escalated and thus stem the issue ballooning into an issue of this magnitude in the future? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734147 Title: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1734147/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
