This very much looks like a kernel issue with support for your hardware and not a problem in the installer itself.

There are a few kernel options you can try to see if that will get the system to boot. Try booting with:

- install noapic
- install noapic nolapic
- install acpi=off

However, those options are workarounds, not solutions. They may even leave you with incomplete or sub-optimal support for your hardware. To get your hardware supported better, your best option is to contact the upstream kernel developers (at linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org) and provide them with the information on your hardware and the boot failure.
