#524, #525 I am a little unclear about all of the cases where this bug will manifest (under what circumstances will the BCR register be changed? Why does "resetting to default" result in a locked BIOS?). However, my understanding is that this second bug should *not* result in a user being locked out of their BIOS *unless* they've first been impacted by the intel-spi bug, and therefore, while it's important to cherry-pick d9018976cdb6 into the artful kernel, this should not impact users who booting 4.13.0-21.24 or later as the first artful kernel they have booted.
Thus, I believe this does not impact the Ubuntu 17.10 respin currently in progress, and we can release those images with the kernel they already have. -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
