Bug#741584: booting T440p with Debian testing - problems
Hi,
My workaround was to (boot in recovery mode and) blacklist nouveau, as in:
# echo 'blacklist nouveau' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
After that, reboot in normal mode.
It seems that the 3.13.x kernel is trying to load drivers for both the Intel and NVIDIA cards, and there's a BIOS-related bug that makes the NVIDIA card misbehave when on Linux. Previous versions of the kernel didn't do that.
I hope that helps.

I found that you had a very similar problem as myself:

I have bought new Thinkpad T440p and aimed to install dualboot Win7/Debian testing.
I have tried the Debian alpha-installer amd64 from 19 March 2014 but the system does not boot correctly (no GUI; login not reacting etc)
Is there any workaround?
Any help would be appreciated very much!
