It was discovered that installing Ubuntu 17.10 on a few gadgets prompts the difficulty of sparing the BIOS settings (at each reboot the settings are reestablished), and the powerlessness to boot from the USB drive (they are never again perceived). It appears that the issue is that SPI Flash is obstructed for composing, and what to do with the chip after that is an open inquiry (in all likelihood, just change).
