Have you tried installing in text mode? At the prompt, instead of just
pressing enter, you'll type "text" and then press enter. Sometimes
laptop video adapters can be a bit "unconventional" and confuse things
during an install. I'm not familiar with that particular laptop so I'm
not sure what video chipset it's using.
