   	My wife just got a Lenovo M75s Gen2 system with Windows   
   preinstalled. I had a go at installing Slackware64 15.0 in it, and failed   
   miserably. Here are the details, in the hope that somebody can help.   
      
   	The system comes with a 500GB SSD storage device. Actually, it is   
   a device plugged into the motherboard directly - like a RAM module - and   
   identified at the Lenovo setup as an M2 Samsung device. We added an old   
   SATA hard drive as well, for that's where my wife's data live - the idea   
   is to use the M2 device for the OS, and the SATA drive for her home   
   directory. In the Lenovo setup, I made sure to disable the Secure Boot   
   feature, plus changed the boot order settings so I can boot off the   
   Slackware64 15.0 install USB stick.   
      
   	After doing all this, the system indeed boots off the USB stick   
   without any problems - without disabling Secure Boot the only thing that   
   boots is the preinstalled Windows.   
      
   	Everything seems to work fine, in that the kernel encounters no   
   problems with the hardware, and I can log in at the command line as root   
   in order to start launching the install.   
      
   	The problem arises when I try to identify the hard drives   
   available. When I do   
      
   	fdisk /dev/sda   
      
   the hard drive identified is the SATA hard drive that we installed. When   
   I try with /dev/sdb, this is the Slackware64 15.0 USB stick. And that's   
   it. Much to my dismay, the M2 drive is not detected at all. Anybody know   
   why such is the case, and, more importantly, how to get around it?   
      
   	I tried to disable a few more, Windows-related settings in the   
   Lenovo setup - to no avail. I tried to find a setting that would allow me   
   to change things to using BIOS legacy mode, but nothing like it seems to   
   be available.   
      
   	Any suggestions on how to get Slackware64 15.0 to detect that M2   
   drive would be most welcome.
