Comment 215 for bug 274995

Broken bioses? I don't understand, nor agree that all the people having
this problem have a broken bios. (Especially considering that this
problem is new and previous Ubuntu releases didn't have this problem on
the same hardware).

If this is a broken bios problem, are you suggesting we all exchange our
computers at the store or get replacement parts?

If I'm misunderstanding, I apologize in advance.
