I have a 8760w which came with an NVIDIA Quadro 4000M and hat BIOS F.01. This configuration booted okay, just like Ingo Gerth pointed out. After upgrading the BIOS to the currently most recent F.21 version, this bug occured. The "nouveau.modeset=0" workaround works as advertised.
This leads me to believe the problem starts to occur with more recent BIOS revision. I cannot be 100% sure though because I tried hard, but failed to downgrade the BIOS back to F.01 (or F.02 for that matter, which is also available on hp.com). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/864739 Title: Ubuntu doesn't work on HP Elitebook 8560w To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/864739/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
