Samsung has suggested that this issue is being triggered by the samsung- laptop kernel module. This module is known to cause other issues on Samsung systems when booted in EFI mode:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121 Kernel team: is it possible to disable the samsung-laptop module when booted under EFI mode? Obviously this would have to be done at module load time; but that may be the best workaround until upstream is able to fix the module to stop tickling the firmware bug. I would prefer for us not to have to disable the samsung-laptop module entirely to work around this, since that would cause regressions for users who have Ubuntu working fine on their systems already in BIOS mode. ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #47121 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121 ** Package changed: shim (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
