Tried text-based install? Do other CTRL+ALT+Fn consoles (F1 through F6 IIRC) show any error output?

Arooo! f8 you mean 
press tab and edit the options appropriate for the laptop.
Wow - a quick google shows this laptop is good with linux, you want to try "noapic nolapic" at least. Go through the bios and disable special power management "features" for specific HW too. |

For example:
noapic nolapic noacpi all-generic-ide irqpoll pci=nommconf
... that will probably be overkill.
I see entries indicating that other distros install and run this machine. |
