I'm on a Lenovo T440p; Ubuntu 14.04 AMD64; kernel 3.13.0-35-generic
(I had to downgrade my bios to 1.14 as suggested here: http://askubuntu.com/a/502065/63688 )

I tried installing the drivers from the git repository in 182, but as
soon as I boot, it crashes. (for anyone else who runs into this problem,
you can boot into recovery mode to uninstall the driver: sudo make
uninstall).  Here's the last part of the error message (please forgive
any typos; I had to copy this by hand):

[    5.107060] Code: c9 80 41 89 4e 10 f6 43 3a 20 74 7e 48 8d 4c 37 18 48 01 ca 0f 84 b9 07 00 00 83 7a 68 18 0f 86 b5 03 00 00 48 8b ba d8 00 00 00 <0f> b7 37 89 f1 66 81 e1 fc 00 66 81 f9 80 00 74 45 66 81 f9 c0

After which I have to forcibly cut power to turn it off.
