Seems to use that switchable GPU nonsense. Try the boot option:

nouveau.blacklist=1

You will need to install Bumblebee to get the Optimus part of the system running in some fashion.

By increasing the brightness I was able to complete the install, but this happens on every boot as well. Did not find much time to work on it further.

Can you help with this problem?
