Title:
  [MSI GT70 0NC] Precise & Quantal won't boot in UEFI

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On my MSI notebook Model GT70-0NC-008US tag under the battery shows GT70-0NC-494US
  Win 8 64 bit was pre-installed, trying to run Precise or Quantal (or any other Linux distro) from live USB, system is unable to boot in UEFI mode.  Subsequently unable to run from HDD in UEFI mode.

  WORKAROUND: Change BIOS to Legacy and Fast Boot to disabled.

  WORKAROUND: With 12.10 installed to HDD tried booting with all options
  given in the Wiki and with acpi=off and "quiet splash" deleted, system
  boots ok and into usable environment.
