Comment 37 for bug 1437386

I also have a w541 and I experienced the exact issue listed here when trying to install the latest Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or Kubuntu 14.04 LTS. My w541 has Core i7 4810HQ with 32GB or RAM + 240G SSD. After much research, I ended doing exactly one Arno Esser listed. Seems to be the only option at this time. I wanted to use LTS to avoid having to upgrade later, but I have no choice....looks like I have to use 15.04. I hope this gets address for the LTS too!
