Tried Alpha 3 and got a similar problem as described above. I cannot neither boot using a live CD nor launch the installer. I have tried with 'nomodeset' and managed to get to the end of the blue/white bar in the bottom of th screen and a message saying "could not write byte broken pipe", but my laptop hangs up after that. As I understand it is something to do with the intel video driver as I have 855GM chip.
