As of yet: Am I correct in stating that nobody with a Lenovo P laptop
has come forward with this problem? If so: it seems unlikely they are
affected, because they have been sold in great numbers.

Damn. Yesterday I updated a Lenovo G40-70 from 17.04 to 17.10 (but not
restarted it yet) and today I stumbled on this horrible news/bug. Still
not sure if the model is affected.
My two cents would be -now that the ISO was pulled- that a warning with
big red letters or something shows up when you

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.
Lenovo y40-80 also corrupted. I've tried so many things. It really seems
like a BIOS flash from usb, or a BIOS flash from an eeprogrammer is our
best bet..

If you dare, you can download the BIOS exe from Lenovo site, extract the

It depends on your model number. My sequence was:
1) Go to support.lenovo.com
2) Type your serial number in the box
3) Click "Drivers and Software" in the blue bar
4) Select Windows 10 64-bit in the "Operating Systems" drop down menu
5) Select BIOS/UEFI in the "Components" drop

There is no iso for a lot of Lenovo models. For instance, for Lenovo
G40-30, there is only an .exe file, that is only compatible with Windows
8.

Hello, It affects also the Lenovo G40-80 Model.
After installation, reboot didn't complete, BIOS settings were readonly,

The only solution was to change the bios chip. Now, with the new bios

It sounds like you are probably fine. If you are able to make(and save) changes
to UEFI then I don't think you are in the same boat as those of us who have
been bit by this bug. You may have an affected model, but as of now you don't
seem to have hit the wall so to speak.

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

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

My Dell had Insyde Software BIOS instead of normal Dell AMI based BIOS
