This is almost certainly not an installer issue, but a kernel issue.

Please boot the installer with 'expert BOOT_DEBUG=3' that should probably 
give you the dump. Try taking a picture of it and see if you can still 
scroll back up for additional pictures.
When using BOOT_DEBUG=3 the installer should start a debug shell. Do you get 
that and is the shell usable?

If the laptop has a serial port, you can also try connecting it to another 
computer using a null-modem serial cable to get the boot log.
