I do not use Toshiba Satellite U940 but Toshiba Satellite T571.
System installed without problem.
So did my old Toshiba (Sony, Dell, Panasonic, ...). I usually have
mature systems. I did have problem with Sony but the problem was solved
with newer kernel etc., on later release Debian.
It is not too much about vender but about CPU version and peripheral
chip version. Since you looks like having very new CPU with the sexy
slim note PC, you may need newer kernel which is available only in
testing/unstable.
I guess booting with installation media into rescue mode should give you
idea for compatibility.
