Another option is to start the install with 'linux xdriver=vesa' to get 
the installation to use the vesa driver instead. If you wanted to assure 
that the installer used any particular driver, you can add that driver 
after xdriver=<mydriver>

The gray screen usually indicates poor xdriver detection. Specifying a 
particular driver may prevent the failure.
