Basically vanilla install of 23.10 on a Thinkpad W541 (same as W540, basically), which has a Haswell CPU and NVIDIA GK107.
When I boot, it fails at:
"Job gpu-manager.service/ start running...".
Rebooting with C-M-<del> sticks@ "gpu-manager.service/stop".
With nomodeset, boot freezes at:
snd_hda_intel 0000:00:03.0: couldn't bind with audio component
snd_hda_intel 0000:00:03.0: HSW/BDW HD-audio HDMI/DP requires binding with gfx driver
If I remove 'gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode' & add nomodeset, it boots.
In that latter state:
$ inxi -G

On an identical machine, **running Linux Mint**, things work fine. Note the drivers:
$inxi -G # NB! Basically identical machine running **Linux Mint**

Things I have tried:
1. That thinkpad, with the newest BIOS, has no way to select the GPU.
2. Attacking the sound driver issue, nomodeset with these parameters did not change the symptoms:
a. intel_iommu=on,igfx_off
b. snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver=1 (I also tried 2 or 3)
c. snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0
