Olli Helenius, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update is available for your BIOS (1.38). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Summary changed: - Lenovo ThinkPad T420s fails to boot with discrete graphics + 10de:1056 [Lenovo ThinkPad T420s] Fails to boot with discrete graphics ** Summary changed: - 10de:1056 [Lenovo ThinkPad T420s] Fails to boot with discrete graphics + 10de:1056 [Lenovo ThinkPad T420s] Fails to boot using nvidia drivers ** Description changed: Booting a ThinkPad T420s with discrete graphics enabled in the causes a - hang during the boot. + hang during the boot.
