[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1734147] Re: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel
I used 32bit boot-repair-disk iso yesterday to try fix a grub problem. Looks like it's built on unpatched Ubuntu 17.10. My bios is now corrupt and unable to boot from USB, worse grub wasn't fixed so my tablet is now a paperweight (maybe a powerbank, suppose it has some use. Fujitsu Q584 using InsydeH20 v5.0 bios. Can't boot anything so only fix appears to involve a lot of soldering on miniature components, not something I'd be confident doing. Really disappointed Canonical consider this problem solved and have not done more to remove unpatched Ubuntu from the wild. I've read through all the comments and I don't see any fix that would work in this circumstance. I know it's an old machine but was really responsive and usable from my very brief experience on Linux.

My default first boot device is Ubuntu and then windows and then USB and network.. etc.. Even if I do f12 and select boot from USB it doesn't work. @axt I even tried flashing the BIOS it does not boot from my Pen drive. I downloaded the latest version of UEFI as per BIOS Update for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Windows 8 (64-bit) , Windows 8.1 (64-bit), Windows10 (64-bit) - Lenovo Z40-70, Z50-70 and tried to execute the package from windows 8 os but after reboot nothing happens. the Bios version is not changed and the bios is still not saving any changes what ever changes I do in it. now I have removed the ubuntu and deleted few partitations of Linux using partition magic. but now the system partition where the UEFI files are there is still there. Last night I tried to run pratation magic. Assigned a drive letter to the system partation then using powershell with admin rights I tried to replace the grubx64.efi.signed in UEFI folder under Ubuntu but it didn't work Now I have removed the Ubuntu folder from that partition and now it directly boots to windows as soon as I start my laptop but my main concern is to fix the BIOS which is not saving my changes in it. -- 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/1734147 Title: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel Status in Linux: Unknown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux-hwe-edge source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux-oem source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Artful: Fix Released Bug description: An update to linux kernel on Ubuntu 17.10 that enabled the Intel SPI drivers results in a serial flash that is read only in Intel Broadwell and Haswell machines with serial flashes with SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK set.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1734147] Re: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel
To fix the issue if you lost access to all operating systems on your machine: Using Virtualbox in any Windows/Linux machine, create a regular installation of Ubuntu on a flash drive (16GB or more space), since you can't create an installation on your hard drive due to problems in the kernel. If you install Ubuntu on the flash drive, you also install the bootloader into the flash drive. (Notice the "Device for Bootloader installation" during the installation process). Reboot, you should see the new entry for the operating system on the flash drive. Now proceed to download the updated kernel as described in the bug description.

So you should be able to do sudo mount /dev/sda2 /boot/efi to mount it (or /dev/sdb2, depending). Then once you have replaced that grubx64.efi with the one that allows booting unsigned kernels, you should run 'sudo umount /boot/efi' to make sure the disk is cleanly unmounted. After this, you should have a secureboot-enabled grub on the internal disk which allows you to boot to a different unsigned kernel on the flash drive in order to reset the firmware state. > Thanks again for any help!

Boot0004* ubuntuHD(2,GPT,83484852-541d-401e- 84e7-6e6e8549496a,0x1f4800,0x82000)/File(\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi) Some info that may help: I do not have the current ubuntu installed on the hard drive itself, it's installed on a flash drive. My old grub got corrupted or partially deleted, so now I only have the minimal-bash editing grub. I boot from the flash drive with: set prefix=(hd0,msdos2)/boot/grub/ set root=(hd0,msdos2) insmod normal normal After that, I get into a normal grub, that's probably located somewhere on the flash drive. The ubuntu on the flash drive was installed on another computer, and just brought over to the laptop. Thanks again for any help!

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1734147] Re: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel
Marek, Secure Boot is a UEFI feature. It is not possible for you to have Secure Boot blocking a kernel boot if you do not have UEFI. It is possible that your EFI System Partition is not mounted at /boot/efi, if you have modified your /etc/fstab since installation. For the system to boot at all under UEFI, you must have an EFI System Partition. For you to have a grub that refuses to boot unsigned kernels, you must have updated the contents on that EFI System Partition rather recently. The output of 'efibootmgr -v' may help you locate the partition so that you can mount it. -- 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/1734147 Title: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel Status in Linux: Unknown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux-hwe-edge source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux-oem source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Artful: Fix Released Bug description: An update to linux kernel on Ubuntu 17.10 that enabled the Intel SPI drivers results in a serial flash that is read only in Intel Broadwell and Haswell machines with serial flashes with SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK set.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1734147] Re: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel
Hi. I'm experiencing problems that look very similar to the ones described in this bug report (can't boot from USB, changes made in UEFI won't save). This I noticed a couple days ago when trying to install a new distro, that failed with "Installing for x86_64-efi platform. Could not delete variable: interrupted system call. Grub- install:error:efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: block device required" I had Ubuntu 17.10 installed last year. To make a long story short, I tried boot-repair and it failed, I tried installing other distros and got the same message. I tried upgrading the UEFI and it failed. It seems I can't even get a grub menu or prompt at startup. My computer boots to the message "no boot device on HDD". I can still boot however, if I pres F9 and manually choose "boot from EFI file" and select the proper .efi file (I can boot into Lubuntu 18.10). My computer is an HP Pavilion 14-n249nf I initially asked about the problem at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1104515. 1. how can I know for sure if this bug is the source of my problems ? 2. I followed the repair method described in the bug description. I can install kernel 4.15 without problems. But with no grub prompt at startup, how can I make sure to boot the right kernel that will fix my issues ? thanks in advance for some answers -- 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/1734147 Title: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel Status in Linux: Unknown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux-hwe-edge source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux-oem source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Artful: Fix Released Bug description: An update to linux kernel on Ubuntu 17.10 that enabled the Intel SPI drivers results in a serial flash that is read only in Intel Broadwell and Haswell machines with serial flashes with SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK set.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1734147] Re: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel
Hi, I have a PEAQ PNB S1015 i2N3, and I have issues starting since my initial 16.04 ubuntu installation. I have completely deleted ubuntu, deleted the efi partition of ubuntu, reinstalled windows from disk. But, I cannot boot from usb anymore. Every start my computer blinks a warning message with "ubuntu boot failed". And my bios still thinks ubuntu efi files are present. I cannot change certain settings in windows, and cannot use restore windows. -- 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/1734147 Title: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel Status in Linux: Unknown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux-hwe-edge source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux-oem source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Artful: Fix Released Bug description: An update to linux kernel on Ubuntu 17.10 that enabled the Intel SPI drivers results in a serial flash that is read only in Intel Broadwell and Haswell machines with serial flashes with SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK set.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1734147] Re: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel
#592, #602 @Robert R (roremich) 17.10 w/o .1 is *toxic* (and anyway EoS, with .1 also). Already the first boot up changes the value. The UEFI is destroyed, so to speak. Btw., that would not have happened in CSM mode instead UEFI mode. Hard cheese, inform in advance. Installing a clean kernel in a live system has no effect because it doesn't allow you to boot. You could try this: 1. Remove the HDD and connect temporary exclusive at another System! 2. Install Ubuntu 18.04.1 64 bit in UEFI mode! 3. Insert this HDD in the Lenovo G50-80 and try to boot! This should correct the false value. As a thinkable alternative: 1. Remove the HDD and connect temporary exclusive at another System! 2. Install Win10 1804 64 bit in UEFI mode! (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO - during the installation routine try "I don't have a product key"/"Ich habe keinen Produktschlüssel"!) 3. Copy the flashing tool with the current UEFI version to the harddisk (https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/de/en/products/LAPTOPS-AND-NETBOOKS/LENOVO-G-SERIES-LAPTOPS/G50-80/downloads/DS102231 - sadly old A0)! 3. Insert this HDD in the Lenovo G50-80 and try to boot! 4. Flash the current UEFI! 5. With a little bit luck the UEFI values will be set to defaults. 6. Now you could kill Windows with an Ubuntu 18.04.1 64 bit installation.

go several months with the BIOS problem I have a Lenovo Y50-70 try to reinstall some version of Linux via USB without any success. my last hope was to try to install Linux from a network since the BIOS allows to start from an OS network but apparently this option is also not possible, I was told that having the recovery of OS windows I can start from the bios with the system recovery. IF SOMEONE HAD THE ISOS OF THE RECOVERY AND HOST THEM IN ANY SERVER, IT WOULD BE OF GREAT HELP, or some other suggestion I already ran out of options until I tried to install ubuntu in my cell phone any contribution helps me.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1734147] Re: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel
Dear Developper Team, Would I be relevant if asking you for three advices from my novice standpoint, please ? First, since you published a list of « affected machines » in the Bug Description, I would like to know if this list is closed or expansible; if other machines could have their BIOS corrupted by launching the Kernel comprised in 17.10. Secondly, if the list of Affected Machines is expansible, if you could elaborate on the criteria by which to discern if a machine will be affected, please ? And for my own interest, if the Lenovo X200 should be included in the above list, or if any of the concern expressed in the Bug Description shall be given to the X200?

I think your problem is nothing to do with this BIOS bug. Youn are giving a boot priority to the internal drive before the optic drive. You should override the boot order by pressing a certain key such as F2, F8 and F9 just after the booting. Refer the manual of your machine to find out this boot order override key. My point was that I have difficulty in changing the order, changes are not permanent, and if it does boot from the CD it does not work in UEFI mode, and so I cannot use e.g. Boot Repair.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1734147] Re: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel
When I enter the BIOS (F2) and change the boot order and save it doesn't remember the settings. Changing to legacy mode is also not possible. Finally, directly booting via the quick boot menu (F8) is not able to boot anything except the HDD. It's definitely the BIOS bug discussed here. Because I was using Lubuntu 17.10 in December 2017. The affected iso was released in October 2017. I have an Insyde H20 bios. So all symptoms point to this bug. Thanks for offering some solutions. I would love one of them to work for me. However, I did recently contact Lenovo to send my laptop in for repair. They were very helpful. And have even offered to pay for the postage.

#579 As I have way less experience with EFI than legacy BIOS, I hesitated to add my comment. But there seems to be no answer to your question so far, I'll add my 2 cents. If you can still boot from your Windows installation, there is a hope. You should be able to proceed as in the legacy BIOS setting (see above postings) but use GRUB2 instead of EasyBCD. The detail is explained at EasyBCD website: https://neosmart.net/wiki/easybcd/uefi/ Option 3: Use GRUB2 EFI as your main boot manager While I cannot guarantee the result, it is worth trying before resorting to the hardware solution (replacing or reflashing ROM chip). -- 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/1734147 Title: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel Status in Linux: Unknown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux-hwe-edge source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux-oem source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Artful: Fix Released Bug description: An update to linux kernel on Ubuntu 17.10 that enabled the Intel SPI drivers results in a serial flash that is read only in Intel Broadwell and Haswell machines with serial flashes with SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK set.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1734147] Re: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel
Hi, I have a Lenovo B50-30 Laptop with an Insyde H20 UEFI BIOS that was corrupted after using a Lubuntu 17.10 Live CD. My HDD is running Windows 10. And I no longer have my Live CD. My laptop refuses to boot anything except the HDD or the Live CD. No USB, No CD, No other HDD. So I was wondering if anyone knows where I can download the Lubuntu 17.10 iso. Specifically the version with the bug. It was released in 2017. I'm hoping I might be able to boot into Lubuntu again to apply the fix discussed here. Or if anyone has any other suggestions of how to repair the BIOS from Windows, please let us know. (Using EasyBCD doesn't work for me because I have UEFI enabled - and I cant switch it off) Thanks. -- 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/1734147 Title: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel Status in Linux: Unknown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux-hwe-edge source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux-oem source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Artful: Fix Released Bug description: An update to linux kernel on Ubuntu 17.10 that enabled the Intel SPI drivers results in a serial flash that is read only in Intel Broadwell and Haswell machines with serial flashes with SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK set.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1734147] Re: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel
I fixed my laptop Acer E5-511-C5QS, it has all the described issues BIOS save
won't change and i was unable to boot from a Liveusb, so i follow #554 and i
use bruteforce procedure drescribed in #560 and find that my partition was
(hd0,9) equivalent to sda9, i get stuck in initramfs, and i use #562 but
instead of 'lsblk' i used 'fsck /dev/sda9' (where sda9 is your ubuntu 17.10
partition) then i answered yes ('Y' key) to all requests, when process finished
i reboot my laptop and i was able to boot previous installed ubuntu 17.10, then
i follow the description fix and that repair my BIOS, i hope this can help
someone with the same problem.
P.d. sorry for my bad english.

3. Install the downloaded package:
$ sudo dpkg -i
linux-image-4.15.0-041500rc6-generic_4.15.0-041500rc6.201712312330+20170103+1_amd64.deb
4. Make sure the kernel is installed without any error. Once installed,
reboot.
5. At grub, choose the newly installed kernel. You can choose the "recovery"
mode.
6. Reboot and go to BIOS settings to confirm your BIOS has been recovered.
7. In case your BIOS is not recovered, reboot to the new kernel, then reboot
*once again* to the new kernel, do not enter BIOS settings before the reboot.
After the second reboot, check BIOS.
8. If your BIOS issue remains, download another kernel from
http://people.canonical.com/~ypwong/lp1734147/linux-image-4.15.0-041500rc6-generic_4.15.0-041500rc6.201712312330+clear+debug_amd64.deb,
and use dpkg to install it, then repeat steps 4 to 6.
After your BIOS is fixed, the kernel packages you just installed are
no longer needed, you can remove it by running 'sudo dpkg -r linux-
image-4.15.0-041500rc6-generic'.

Original Description:
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
[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1734147] Re: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel
#564 It sounds like the POST delay of your laptop is currently set to zero second and the machine is trying to boot from the wrong devise. Try hitting the [ESC] key repeatedly as soon as you turn on the computer. This key sequence could be different (mine was HP Probook) - so check the support page for your laptop model.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1734147] Re: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel
@fardin Happy to hear you're making progress, though I won't be able to help you as much at this stage because your system is setup up differently from mine. Since you've reached the initrmfs terminal, you just need to locate "vmlinuz" now that the drives have been reordered. That should be wherever the root of filesystem has been mounted (e.g. "/"). Thankfully initrmfs will have all the basic functions of a standard terminal. So try "lsblk" to list all the drives/partitions and their ids, and look for the partition that has the "/" MOUNTPOINT. That should be the name you use for the root in the second grub command. Failing that, you could use other basic terminal commands like "ls /dev", 'find / -name "vmlinuz"', etc. to figure out your particular setup. -- 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/1734147 Title: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel Status in Linux: Unknown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux-hwe-edge source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux-oem source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Artful: Fix Released Bug description: An update to linux kernel on Ubuntu 17.10 that enabled the Intel SPI drivers results in a serial flash that is read only in Intel Broadwell and Haswell machines with serial flashes with SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK set.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1734147] Re: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel
@fardin
I'm no expert on the grub terminal, but you should be able to access all
the attached devices even if you couldn't boot from them. There's maybe
a command that lists all the partitions, but I was locked out of using
modules thanks to SecureBoot. So I used the following method;
The device id (hdn,m) represents drive number 'n' and partition 'm'. So
starting with drive 0, partition 1, try 'cat (hd0,1)/etc/issue'. If you
get a 'file not found' error increment the partition, e.g. 'cat
(hd0,2)/etc/issue'. If you get a 'drive not found' error increment the
drive number and reset the partition, e.g. 'cat (hd1,1)/etc/issue'. Once
you find the id that returns something ('Ubuntu 18.04 \n \l', I'm
guessing in your case), continue onto step three.
This is the brute force method, but you can probably calculate the right
drive number base on the number of devices on the laptop (0=Boot device
(USB), 1=HDD, etc.). The partition number will be the partition of the
root filesystem '/' where you installed. So, best guess for you is
(hd1,2). If that doesn't work you'll have to use the brute force method.
If *that* doesn't work, then I'm afraid I'm at the limit of my
knowledge. Maybe some research into the grub terminal will help you
figure out if you can access and boot from the installed drive. It
should be possible based on my experience.
