Ubuntu 14.10 Installer Fails to Boot on Gigabyte PC

[iExchange128]

When I boot my bootable ubuntu 14.10 USB on my GIGABYTE H97-HD3 motherboard with i5 4690 CPU, 16GB RAM and GTX750 graphics, I selected Install Now option and it shortly get stuck at the following lines:

[2.974542] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:01:00.0] failed to load fuc409c
[2.974593] nouveau E[ DEVICE][0000:01:00.0] failed to create 0x18000717, -22
[2.974657] nouveau E[ DRM] failed to create 0x80000080, -22
Would appreciate if you could let me know what I could try...

It seems all Gigabyte motherboards have issues or need IOMMU settings in UEFI and/or boot parameter.
Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3 with I7-3820
Needed F6 (BIOS boot) to set ACPI=Off and nomodeset, add to grub if UEFI boot.
Gigabyte UEFI boot issues - The partition size of the created USB Installer device needs to be under that of 4GB.
Others found UEFI/BIOS update solved issue of 4GB FAT limit.
turns out the IOMMU needs to be enabled in the BIOS. This problems seems to be exclusive to Gigabyte boards.

Usually better to use PPA.

open-source driver support for Maxwell, there's none right now, at least not mainline. Feb 2014

I do not normally suggest installing a version that is not yet released, unless you have it as a second install for testing, but you may do better with the latest or 15.04 which will be out in April. That has major updates to kernel, support software & video that make it easier to install. You can use ppa which update an older install to newer kernel & drivers if installing older verison of Ubuntu.
