Not able to boot live cd on Dell XPS with NVIDIA optimus

 

Hello,

Wondering if you could help me out here..
I bought a new Dell XPS 15 Laptop with Intel Core i5-2410M and NVIDIA
GeForce GT 525M 1GB graphics with Optimus
I tried Fedora (both 32 bit and 64 bit) and also Ubuntu, but neither of
them would even boot into the Live CD..
The error message "nouveau unsupported chipset" would appear while
trying to boot.. So I guess it's some problem with my graphics card..
I'm a student at North Carolina State University studying Electrical
Engineering and will be needing Linux on my Laptop for many of my
projects and courses.. It'd be great if someone could help me figure out
how to get this working..

Thank you,
Abhay Chinivar
