Hi all,

I bought Lenovo Yoga 910 about one month ago and tried to install Ubuntu 16.04 and also 16.10 on a separated driver but was not able to do so.
When I tried to boot the Linux from USB, it tried to install the Ubuntu on my USB and couldn't recognize the drivers of my laptop.

I allocated a separate driver, and changed the boot to enable USB boot, but in the initial step after choosing no-WiFi for installation it showed me a message that I don't have enough space and showed the available space in my USB but not the laptop drivers!
Does anyone have any idea or faced this issue before?

One of the Linux specialist told me that Lenovo Yoga uses a SSD hard which might not be compatible with the Linux features yet and that is why during installation it does not recognize the machine drivers.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

I believe it was your model that Lenovo has to release a new UEFI to fix.
Not sure status now.

Most of this it turns out was not true. Its just Lenovo did not do a correct UEFI.
