Another option is to start the install with 'linux xdriver=vesa' to get
the installation to use the vesa driver instead. If you wanted to assure
that the installer used any particular driver, you can add that driver
after xdriver=<mydriver>
The gray screen usually indicates poor xdriver detection. Specifying a
particular driver may prevent the failure.
