Canonical announced the temporary closure of Ubuntu 17.10 download channel

In view of the fact that many Lenovo notebook users have reported that they tried to install the latest Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) ** causing BIOS corruption**, Canonical today announced the removal of the latest version of the download image. In order to solve this problem, Canonical plans to close the Intel SPI driver in the Linux Kernel 4.13 kernel. After rebuilding and packaging, the company will release a new ISO image. It is not clear how long the entire process will take, but I believe that the revised version should be released as soon as possible.

Regrettably, if your Lenovo notebook has BIOS damage, you may need to replace the device motherboard in serious cases. According to reports, some Yoga and IdeaPad series product lines are affected, and some Acer, Dell and Toshiba notebooks are also affected.

Lenovo B40-70, Lenovo B50-70, Lenovo B50-80, Lenovo Flex-10, Lenovo G40-30, Lenovo G50-70, Lenovo G50-80, Lenovo S20-30, Lenovo U31-70, Lenovo Y50-70, Lenovo Y70-70, Lenovo Yoga Thinkpad (20C0), Lenovo Yoga 2 11-20332, Lenovo Z50-70, Lenovo Z51-70 and Lenovo IdeaPad 100-15IBY are Lenovo products known to be affected by this problem. Toshiba S50t-B notebook computers are also affected.
