I recently discovered that the isolinux.cfg file on the ISO doesn't
include vga=normal, forcing non-framebuffer mode by default. Please try
booting the ISO with:

install vga=normal

If that doesn't work, please try booting into the initrd's shell and
seeing what is happening in there before it goes to the ISO's init:

install shell
