This issue affected a 15" Macbook Pro running kernel 4.4.0.15 on T7400 Dual Core 2.16 GHz with Radeon graphics. It's quite an elderly machine and suitable for a more modern OS since Apple no longer supports it. When running the live disk I noticed the mouse was "sluggish" and eventually the whole thing ground to a shuddering stop. On second try, I switched on all the normal options and got it installed to the hard drive but I could not even log onto a terminal (switching from GUI to a console). Third time I switched the CD into text mode by appending the "TEXT" switch (removing QUIET and NOSPLASH) and ran the live disk: what do you know, it worked like a charm, installed without any incidents and rebooted correctly. I'm currently upgrading the system to see if that creates any further issues.
