Josh More linked to a
bug<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75800>that sounds
like it might be relevant.
I had roughly the same issue this past weekend.
I installed a fresh copy of Debian testing a T61 ThinkPad, which has an
NVidia Quadro 140M.
I had the line issue during the installer, but after I compiled the latest
3.14.2 kenel and installed the proprietary NVidia driver it went away.

I don't know if this helps you at all, but it's what worked for me.
I don't really want to user the proprietary NVidia driver, but I've had
some issue with the Nouveau drivers in the past.
I have not used them in a while, but I know they've improved.
