[Jared Wunsch <jared@xxxx>]

Checking in with the same exact issue as Captain Chaos.  Attempting to
install Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10, 13.10 and Debian 7.1.0 on an MSI GS70 2OD.

VGA: Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M/2GB GDDR5
HDD: 750GB 7200RPM+128GB SSD

Installs were attempted via USB as well as via CDROM.

Attempting to boot live session (Try Ubuntu) fails with  "divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP"  
Attempting to install fails with  "divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP"

I could not get the read out on the Debian attempts, but I would assume
it to be the same.

Various acpi settings were attempted. Including nomodeset, etc with no
indication of a different result.  I have not attempted a non-debian
based install, but that will be what I attempt next.

Any insight to this at all?

Title:
  Hangs booting with HDMI+VGA divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP; RIP:
  0010:[<ffffffffa01eec90>] [<ffffffffa01eec90>]
  nve4_graph_init+0x250/0x7e0 [nouveau]

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a bto 15CL58 laptop, a Haswell laptop which has integrated
  Intel graphics as well as an NVidia GTX765M with the Optimus system
  for switching between the integrated and discrete GPU.

  When I try to boot Ubuntu 13.04 on it while having an HDMI monitor as
  well as a VGA monitor attached to the laptop, Ubuntu hangs. It shows
  the graphical Ubuntu logo with the dots underneath and then just sits
  there. Windows has no problem with this configuration, so I know the
  hardware can do it. If I remove the VGA connection Ubuntu does boot
  (and allows me to use the integrated display as well as the HDMI
  monitor).

  WORKAROUND: Note that after upgrading the kernel to 3.11 (from
  ~kernel-ppa/mainline) and installing the updated NVidia proprietary
  driver packages from ~xorg-edgers (since after the kernel update the
  kernel module doesn't compile), it *does* work!
