I think I am affected by this as well. I tried to install 17.10 on my Lenovo Flex 3 (I have the model number written somewhere) a little before Thanksgiving, and now it doesn't save bios changes, boot to anything (USB or otherwise), and it just flashes the Lenovo screen and restarts itself every second. I have tried replacing the hard drive, booting to Lenovo's recovery partition which failed, and replacing the CMOS battery. Whenever I try booting via boot menu, every thing I try throws up the same "[name of boot device] boot failed." I have no idea what to do at this point. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
