I experienced the same problem while installing Debian Testing on a 
Lenovo Thinkpad T61 about a month ago. The ISO image was probably from 
Dec 31 or Jan 1 but I'm not certain. I have a few different computers in 
my possession. Would it be useful for you if I tested if the graphical 
installation works on these?
