To avoid any confusion, I first remark that my last message (2014-01-19)
about the boot failure concerned booting from live DVD. Of course, I am
not able to install the system on the machine's hard drive.

As far as I remember, I have never met such an issue before. For
example, I have successfully installed ubuntu 13.10 on the machine.

Today I tried newer development version of ubuntu 64-bit, dated to 21st
January. The problem is the same as mentioned above: it is not possible
to boot the machine from the live DVD. The boot process stops as
described above. I am sure that I have correctly burnt the iso image: I
even used a different medium than in my previous test and the problem is
the same.

I do not know how to use information on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelBoot  for problems with live DVD
boot.

Title:
  HP ZBook, live ubuntu 13.10: freezes

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  machine:  HP ZBook 15 
  (Intel Core i7 4700MQ Haswell, NVIDIA Quadro K1100M 2GB, 1920 x 1080 display)

  system: ubuntu 13.10 desktop, 64-bit, live DVD  (md5 sum OK)

  I boot from the live DVD. The boot goes fine.
  Then I decide to try the ubuntu (not to install).
  I go to the search in the left upper corner, type "terminal".
  I open the terminal.

  After a while the desktop environment almost completely freezes. I can only move the touchpad pointer.
  I can also switch to the console (Alt Ctrl F1) and then back (Alt F7). The desktop responds after this switch but its reactions and colours are strange and it is unusable.

  I guess a problem with a video driver. I am not sure which one because
  there are two graphics processors inside (one is an embedded Intel HD
  Graphics 4600, the other is the NVidia, see above).

  However, I have similar problems when I insert the DVD into an old
  computer: 1st generation Intel i7, without an embedded graphics, with
  two dual cards GeForce GTX295 (4 GPUs together). The machine runs fine
  older Ubuntu and Mint releases.
