Just adding "nomodeset" before the "--" in the boot line didn't help. However, in compatibility mode the "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" file yielded a clue:+ − (EE) VESA: Kernel modesetting driver in use, refusing to load+ + + − It turned out the "radeon" driver was being loaded as well as the "vesa" one (you could see it happening as the font of the terminal changed). So this enabled me to start the installation process: edit the compatibility mode boot line to add both "nomodeset" and "radeon.modeset=0".+ + + − The installer is running now.

* '''Make USB Installer Stick'''
We actually made the ISO compatible with unetbootin so you may have more luck there.
