to summarize my findings with Linux Mint (LM), all with UEFI booting and
the latest Lenovo BIOS: A2CN38WW(V2.06) 07/15/2015
I created fresh, default Live-USB boot disks using the 64bit Cinnamon ISO's and here was my result:
LM18 Cinnamon (kernel 4.4) FAIL: fails on menu icon suspend. First attempt works OK, second attempt displays a bright yellow text message on black screen "Warning! boot script table is modified! Please contact your vendor." followed by auto cold-booting the system.
LM17.3 Cinnamon (kernel 3.19) FAIL - same as LM18
LM17.2 Cinnamon (kernel 3.16) SUCCESS - Works great! everything - menu icon click, power button, notebook lid open/close
