Don't know just give it a try and give some options in the boot prompt.
perhaps it is your video's card? try 'linux install text' this sets you in
the text-install-mode instead of graphical.

also, i had some problems with lcd, perhaps you have to give it like this:
'linux install nofsb'

and apic is common on both of my notebooks:
'linux install noapic'

try those, or a combination of all. I hope, this helps.
