I have a w541 and encountered exactly the same problem when trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (both with USB and DVD live versions). I managed to get 15.04 working using a DVD and the same method as Arno Esser.
I hope that this problem will be addressed soon! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1437386 Title: Unable to boot LenovoThinkpad W541 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1437386/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
