About two months ago i also bricked my Lenovo D30 when i started some Fedora 18 Beta netinstall media from USB thumb in UEFI mode.

Basically the Kernel "oopsed" and when i rebooted the motherboard turned out fried. At the time i did not report it because i did not have much information about the event and i was, and i am, still not sure what happened. Now that i read about the Samsung issue i find that very familiar. Anyway, fortunately my D30 was still under warranty and i was not able to reproduce after it was repaired.

I also was not able to boot Fedora 18 UEFI installation on both my D30 as well as my X220. I use to have Fedora 16 installed in UEFI mode and it worked fine. In Fedora 18 i was not able to make that work. When i press the Fedora item from the UEFI menu nothing happens (Nothing bootable found). It might just be me but even if so, i guess it is not as intuitive as it could be.
