Someone should have one .. On top of my head I don't know anyone who can lend me one. But that's indeed a possibility I will investigate, along with USB-thumifying the iso file and dd'ing back the disk image it was shipped with. Though that's more complex and harder to schedule than downloading CURRENT sources, building them overnight and installing them on a USB flash. > > > Though I will probably try with CURRENT instead of STABLE before trying > > > BIOS update, since it's much easier to perform and I only need time to > > > get at it. > > > > > I also think that this is the easier way free of any risks. > > Well you could check BIOS/EC upgrade notes to try seeing if any of the > issues fixed may be relevant, but there have been many issues and PRs > fixed by nothing but a firmware upgrade, so I wouldn't skip that. The changelog from lenovo website does not contain anything related to ACPI or power management. But then again, said changelog is so light that I don't trust it to be complete, I rather expect lenovo to mention only significantly visible issues. So I will try the BIOS/EC update when I get the opportunity to do so. I just expect having an opportunity to boot CURRENT sooner. Thanks for your insights, Natacha Porté
