Hi all,
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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
For example:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Y50-70-BIOS-Can-t-Save-Settings-or-boot-with-USB/m-p/3849142
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Y50-70-BIOS-Can-t-Save-Settings-Or-Exit/m-p/3601285

Hi all,
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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
For example:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Y50-70-BIOS-Can-t-Save-Settings-or-boot-with-USB/m-p/3849142
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Y50-70-BIOS-Can-t-Save-Settings-Or-Exit/m-p/3601285
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/y50-70-BIOS-can-t-save-settings-and-I-can-t-boot-system/m-p/3865727

Hi all,
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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!!

Hi all,
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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!!

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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!!

Hi all,
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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!!

Hi all,
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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!!

SRU Justification
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.
Test Case: Fix has been verified by our HWE team on affected hardware.
Regression Potential: Minimal, it's unlikely anyone is actually doing anything which requires this driver.

SRU Justification
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.
Test Case: Fix has been verified by our HWE team on affected hardware.
Regression Potential: Minimal, it's unlikely anyone is actually doing anything which requires this driver.

Hi all,
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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!!

SRU Justification
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.
Test Case: Fix has been verified by our HWE team on affected hardware.
Regression Potential: Minimal, it's unlikely anyone is actually doing anything which requires this driver.

Hi all,
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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!!

SRU Justification
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.
Test Case: Fix has been verified by our HWE team on affected hardware.
Regression Potential: Minimal, it's unlikely anyone is actually doing anything which requires this driver.

Hi all,
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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!!

SRU Justification
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.
Test Case: Fix has been verified by our HWE team on affected hardware.
Regression Potential: Minimal, it's unlikely anyone is actually doing anything which requires this driver.

Hi all,
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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!!

SRU Justification
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.
Test Case: Fix has been verified by our HWE team on affected hardware.
Regression Potential: Minimal, it's unlikely anyone is actually doing anything which requires this driver.

Hi all,
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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!!

SRU Justification
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.
Test Case: Fix has been verified by our HWE team on affected hardware.
Regression Potential: Minimal, it's unlikely anyone is actually doing anything which requires this driver.

Hi all,
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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!!

SRU Justification
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.
Test Case: Fix has been verified by our HWE team on affected hardware.
Regression Potential: Minimal, it's unlikely anyone is actually doing anything which requires this driver.

Hi all,
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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!!

Description: An update to linux kernel on Ubuntu 17.10 that enabled the intel-spi-* drivers made Insyde BIOS unusable. Main issues were Settings being not stored, USB Boot impossible and EFI entries read-only.
Fix: The issue was fixed in Kernel Version 4.13.0-21. But previous affected machines still suffered from a broken BIOS.
Repair: Boot Linux and Install Kernel Version 4.14.9. Reboot into Linux and BIOS should be restored to a working state.

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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!! |

Description: An update to linux kernel on Ubuntu 17.10 that enabled the intel-spi-* drivers made Insyde BIOS unusable. Main issues were Settings being not stored, USB Boot impossible and EFI entries read-only.
Fix: The issue was fixed in Kernel Version 4.13.0-21. But previous affected machines still suffered from a broken BIOS.
Repair: Boot Linux and Install Kernel Version 4.14.9. Reboot into Linux and BIOS should be restored to a working state.

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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!! |

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.
Symptoms:
* BIOS settings cannot be saved
* USB Boot impossible
* EFI entries read-only.
---
Fix: The issue was fixed in kernel version 4.13.0-21 by configuring the kernel so it is not compiled with Intel SPI support. But previous affected machines still suffered from a broken BIOS.
Repair: If you still can boot into Ubuntu, you can recover your BIOS with the following steps:
1. Boot into Ubuntu
2. Download http://people.canonical.com/~ypwong/lp1734147/linux-image-4.15.0-041500rc6-generic_4.15.0-041500rc6.201712312330+20170103+1_amd64.deb
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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!! |

Symptoms:
* BIOS settings cannot be saved
* USB Boot impossible

Fix: The issue was fixed in kernel version 4.13.0-21 by configuring the kernel so it is not compiled with Intel SPI support. But previous affected machines still suffered from a broken BIOS.
Repair: If you still can boot into Ubuntu, you can recover your BIOS with the following steps:
1. Boot into Ubuntu
2. Download http://people.canonical.com/~ypwong/lp1734147/linux-image-4.15.0-041500rc6-generic_4.15.0-041500rc6.201712312330+20170103+1_amd64.deb
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'.
The patch used to build the linux v4.15 kernel in step 8 can be found at https://goo.gl/xUKJFR.

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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.
Thank you!! |
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.
Symptoms:
* BIOS settings cannot be saved
* USB Boot impossible
* EFI entries read-only.

Fix: The issue was fixed in kernel version 4.13.0-21 by configuring the kernel so it is not compiled with Intel SPI support. But previous affected machines still suffered from a broken BIOS.
Repair: If you still can boot into Ubuntu, you can recover your BIOS with the following steps:
1. Boot into Ubuntu
2. Download http://people.canonical.com/~ypwong/lp1734147/linux-image-4.15.0-041500rc6-generic_4.15.0-041500rc6.201712312330+20170103+1_amd64.deb
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'.
The patch used to build the linux v4.15 kernel in step 8 can be found at https://goo.gl/xUKJFR.

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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.

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.
Symptoms:
* BIOS settings cannot be saved
* USB Boot impossible
* EFI entries read-only.
---
Fix: The issue was fixed in kernel version 4.13.0-21 by configuring the kernel so it is not compiled with Intel SPI support. But previous affected machines still suffered from a broken BIOS.
Repair: If you still can boot into Ubuntu, you can recover your BIOS with the following steps:
1. Boot into Ubuntu
2. Download http://people.canonical.com/~ypwong/lp1734147/linux-image-4.15.0-041500rc6-generic_4.15.0-041500rc6.201712312330+20170103+1_amd64.deb
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'.
The patch used to build the linux v4.15 kernel in step 8 can be found at https://goo.gl/xUKJFR.

Test Case: Fix has been verified by our HWE team on affected hardware.
Regression Potential: Minimal, it's unlikely anyone is actually doing anything which requires this driver.

The patch used to build the linux v4.15 kernel in step 8 can be found at https://goo.gl/xUKJFR.
If you have applied updates, and find that you can not boot the above fixed kernel because of Secure Boot and that the kernel is unsigned, but can still boot another kernel for your system; here's what you can do:
1) Download http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main/uefi/grub2-amd64/2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.20/grubx64.efi.signed:
$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main/uefi/grub2-amd64/2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.20/grubx64.efi.signed
2) Copy grubx64.efi.signed over /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi:
$ sudo cp grubx64.efi.signed /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi
3) Reboot; you should now be able to load the new unsigned kernel that allows fixing firmware / SPI.
4) Once you're satisfied that things work; boot to Ubuntu with a standard, signed kernel, and re-install the right GRUB version for your system:
$ sudo grub-install

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'.
The patch used to build the linux v4.15 kernel in step 8 can be found at https://goo.gl/xUKJFR.
If you have applied updates, and find that you can not boot the above fixed kernel because of Secure Boot and that the kernel is unsigned, but can still boot another kernel for your system; here's what you can do:
1) Download http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/uefi/grub2-amd64/current/grubx64.efi.signed:
$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/uefi/grub2-amd64/current/grubx64.efi.signed
2) Copy grubx64.efi.signed over /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi:
$ sudo cp grubx64.efi.signed /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi
3) Reboot; you should now be able to load the new unsigned kernel that allows fixing firmware / SPI.
4) Once you're satisfied that things work; boot to Ubuntu with a standard, signed kernel, and re-install the right GRUB version for your system:
$ sudo grub-install

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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.

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.
Symptoms:
* BIOS settings cannot be saved
* USB Boot impossible
* EFI entries read-only.

Fix: The issue was fixed in kernel version 4.13.0-21 by configuring the kernel so it is not compiled with Intel SPI support. But previous affected machines still suffered from a broken BIOS.
Repair: If you still can boot into Ubuntu, you can recover your BIOS with the following steps:
1. Boot into Ubuntu
2. Download http://people.canonical.com/~ypwong/lp1734147/linux-image-4.15.0-041500rc6-generic_4.15.0-041500rc6.201712312330+20170103+1_amd64.deb

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.
Warning: 32bit iso on sourceforge for boot-repair-disk still contains unpatched Kernel. This is especially dangerous if boot-repair fails to repair the system to a bootable state, as there will be no way of applying the Fix detailed below.
Symptoms:
* BIOS settings cannot be saved
* USB Boot impossible
* EFI entries read-only.

Fix: The issue was fixed in kernel version 4.13.0-21 by configuring the kernel so it is not compiled with Intel SPI support. But previous affected machines still suffered from a broken BIOS.

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'.
The patch used to build the linux v4.15 kernel in step 8 can be found at https://goo.gl/xUKJFR.
If you have applied updates, and find that you can not boot the above fixed kernel because of Secure Boot and that the kernel is unsigned, but can still boot another kernel for your system; here's what you can do:
1) Download http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/uefi/grub2-amd64/current/grubx64.efi.signed:
$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/uefi/grub2-amd64/current/grubx64.efi.signed
2) Copy grubx64.efi.signed over /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi:
$ sudo cp grubx64.efi.signed /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi
3) Reboot; you should now be able to load the new unsigned kernel that allows fixing firmware / SPI.
4) Once you're satisfied that things work; boot to Ubuntu with a standard, signed kernel, and re-install the right GRUB version for your system:
$ sudo grub-install

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 not have a CDROM.
Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regarding this issue.
Thank you!! |

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.
Warning: 32bit iso on sourceforge for boot-repair-disk still contains unpatched Kernel. This is especially dangerous if boot-repair fails to repair the system to a bootable state, as there will be no way of applying the Fix detailed below.
Symptoms:
* BIOS settings cannot be saved
* USB Boot impossible
* EFI entries read-only.
---
Fix: The issue was fixed in kernel version 4.13.0-21 by configuring the kernel so it is not compiled with Intel SPI support. But previous affected machines still suffered from a broken BIOS.
Repair: If you still can boot into Ubuntu, you can recover your BIOS with the following steps:
1. Boot into Ubuntu
2. Download http://people.canonical.com/~ypwong/lp1734147/linux-image-4.15.0-041500rc6-generic_4.15.0-041500rc6.201712312330+20170103+1_amd64.deb
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'.
The patch used to build the linux v4.15 kernel in step 8 can be found at https://goo.gl/xUKJFR.
If you have applied updates, and find that you can not boot the above fixed kernel because of Secure Boot and that the kernel is unsigned, but can still boot another kernel for your system; here's what you can do:
1) Download http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/uefi/grub2-amd64/current/grubx64.efi.signed:
$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/uefi/grub2-amd64/current/grubx64.efi.signed
2) Copy grubx64.efi.signed over /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi:
$ sudo cp grubx64.efi.signed /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi
3) Reboot; you should now be able to load the new unsigned kernel that allows fixing firmware / SPI.
4) Once you're satisfied that things work; boot to Ubuntu with a standard, signed kernel, and re-install the right GRUB version for your system:
$ sudo grub-install

Test Case: Fix has been verified by our HWE team on affected hardware.
Regression Potential: Minimal, it's unlikely anyone is actually doing anything which requires this driver.
