Hi Tobias,

Thanks for your reply!

I tried Ubuntu Server 14.04.3 LTS but it didn't work for a different
reason. I got "Failed to load COM32 file gfxboot.c32" and the provided
solution didn't work
(https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/259869). That has
happened to me before for some Kubuntu release on another laptop and I
was able to work it out, not this time though.

In the end I managed to install Kubuntu 14.04.1 without trouble from USB
stick (like all my attempts). Notice that Kubuntu 14.04.2 failed. That
should be the case for Ubuntu too so I would recommend people to try
that out as the simplest solution.

Cheers,
Tomás

Title:
  Unable to boot LenovoThinkpad W541

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I tried to boot my Lenovo Thinkpad W541 using a bootable USB(having
  Ubuntu 14.04 image).

  I could see the welcome screen where I can choose to try or install
  Ubuntu. Choosing either one causes a freeze.

  Initial boot screen shows the following error (which maybe the
  reason?):

  "mmc0 unknown controller version(3), You may experience problems"

  I cannot run "apport-collect" since this problem stops me from booting.
