The BIOS that has locked the AHCI is currently cryptographically signed by Lenovo.
Currently, one user had successfully installed Linux on their device by manually flashing their BIOS by soldering a chip programmer onto the actual chip.
They flashed a version they manually modified the BIOS by reverse engineering and hacking the code to get around Lenovo's goto stmt, restoring uesr access to the Advanced settings page.
