How far did you get? No more choices after the boot menu?
You saw the graphics console, but X didn't work ?

Did you try CTRL-ALT-F1 to get out of X, back to the console, or
ctrl-alt-backspace?
Otherwise how were able to view the log ?

Otherwise, it might be easiest to do a text-mode install, and then
fix X afterwards.
