Is this a duplicate of #80384?
Yes, although this is with the second beta, not the first, so the problem is still there.
Find out what the native resolution of your LCD is and add this when you boot: linux resolution=<native resolution> For example, if you laptop does 1024x768, use linux resolution=1024x768 when you boot the installer. I have a workaround for this but it is not in the latest beta.
Closing due to inactivity.
Just to confirm that this problem didn't occur when installing the latest beta.
