I ran into a similar issue but forgot how exactly I got around it. I'll check my notes to see if anything jogs my memory. I seem to recall having to change the boot parameters while @ the grub selection screen, maybe I saved it in my installer; I'll check tomorrow & write back.
Additionally, I was having a hell of a time getting it to boot properly on a UEFI system. Eventually booting in legacy mode solved most of my issues.
