From the installation guide [1]:
"debian-installer/framebuffer (fb)
Some architectures use the kernel framebuffer to offer installation in a number of languages. If framebuffer causes a problem on your system you can disable the feature using the parameter vga=normal fb=false. Problem symptoms are error messages about bterm or bogl, a blank screen, or a freeze within a few minutes after starting the install. "
You may be having a framebuffer issue.
Can you try this parameter?
