I had a similar problem with Linux Mint 16 and Ubuntu 13.10 amd64. Adding "nomodeset" to the 13.10 installer boot options (after the --, or via the F6 add options method) fixed that install. Haven't tried this with Mint.
13.04 booted without any changes required. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1232478 Title: Ubuntu 13.10 Final Beta fails to boot/install MMIO write of 0x.
