The affected hardware is diverse and I see no pattern. I would favor
restarting with mingetty. However, the installer runs but just has no
display, so I do not know how to detect it.
My Macbook using “NVIDIA Corporation MCP89 [GeForce 320M] (rev a2)”
runs the installer just fine.
A desktop PC using “NVIDIA Corporation GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] (rev
a2)” runs it just fine too.
Another PC using “Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Oland PRO
[Radeon R7 240/340]” runs the installer just fine (but not Xorg X).
A laptop Acer Aspire 5738 using “Advanced Micro Devices,
Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV710/M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4530/4570/545v]” *fails*
with a black screen; manual installation is required (which I have not
tested but probably works).
Another laptop Uniwill U50SI1 using “Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]
771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)” *fails* the same way.
Manual install works fine. Note that I cannot boot non-Windows
install images (Debian or Guix) on this machine, only via DVD, and
Xorg X server only runs using uvesafb with a v86d helper.
None of these installers flicker; the screen is black or it runs fine.

Florian
