Sounds like it could be a frame buffer problem. In fact, it sounds like
you're only seeing part of the whole screen, which is not uncommon on
some laptops with framebuffer, although not often this bad. Try booting
it like this:

boot: linux debian-installer/framebuffer=false

You might also try a recent daily build instead, as it's possible the
newer kernel works better on your hardware.
