I just got a new HP EliteBook 8540w laptop at work and tried to install the latest Ubuntu on it. The install finished and once I rebooted I managed to log in. The next time I rebooted I was met with the following line after grub:

[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Poninter to BIT loadval table invalid

And it just hangs there. I have tried rebooting several times but it stops here every time. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
