This sounds like a hardware issue. Try booting from a LiveUSB with
GParted on it and see if you can use it to partition and format the
disk. If so, and the installer runs, just use the partitions you
created as is. If not, take it back to the dealer; that's exactly what
warranties are for.
Thank you, Joe. Do you agree these messages are disk-related?
These errors start before startup of the LiveUSB environment completes.
There are a lot of normal boot messages, the last one of which is
"starting Gnome Display Manager." At this point, the errors start
streaming and never stop. (Just tried again--they've been scrolling for
an hour and a half.)
Can you get to single-user mode from LiveUSB? The menus it offers don't
seem to indicate this is possible.
