Okay, the ThinkPad (TP) T41 machine has a Radeon GPU card, it gets the first prompt about persistent volume selection and more options okay; but then proceeds to start up further and fails to bring up the DE with a message about contacting your administrator. The Macbook Pro (4,1 -- early 2008). Fails to get the first prompt that the TP gets. I do get ttys 1 through 6, but without any option to specify a suitable password, it can do nothing.
