There's a link to the patches that Intel submitted. If you go to next in list, you can see the patches and if you go to next in thread, you can follow the ensuing conversation where upstream kernel developers declare it "too ugly to live" and Intel admits that putting the storage in AHCI mode is better. Of course with Lenovo's default BIOS you can't, so no Linux for you! Regardless, does Ubuntu want to merge and maintain this in case there are other laptops out there with ridiculous BIOS settings? It's a distinct possibility that other companies have hardware out there that does this. I doubt that Lenovo will try it again, but you never know.:P I'm probably done buying hardware from OEMs that pull stuff like this and then fighting them later as others apologize for them. If it's not crooked, then it's at least braindead stupid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1627905 Title: Ubuntu can't be installed to certain Lenovo Yoga laptops because the fakeraid storage mode is not supported.
