I had some problems with nouveau keeping my computer from booting Ubuntu.
Fortunately this thread helped me:

The only problem is that I have to edit the boot scripts when GRUB starts and add nomodeset every time I want to boot Ubuntu.
How can I permanently save the boot script to always include the string "nomodeset"?
