Samsung have published a BIOS update, version 1.0.0.3, which should correct the underlying problem.
So possibly the Linux installation procedure could now be amended to: a) check whether the computer has a samsung bios lower 1.0.0.3, and if so warn the user to upgrade, and if the user continues the installation, to deactivate the samsung modules, b) if the bios version is 1.0.0.3 or higher to do the installation with the samsung modules. Knowing that Samsung are quite committed to Android and Linux, it is good that they have picked up this issue seriously and addressed it, even though it required multiple parties to do so and therefore took a bit of time.
