AFAIK Kali live fail-safe kernel command line has the following kernel 
parameters:
memtest noapic noapm nodma nomce nolapic nomodeset nosmp vga=normal

Debian live fail-safe kernel command line has the following kernel 
parameters:
memtest noapic noapm nodma nomce nosmp vga=788

If it fails, we can assume none of them helps.

Kernel parameters which are present in Kali live fail-safe command line 
but not in Debian live fail-safe command line are nolapic and nomodeset. 
The Debian installer does not use any graphic driver for real hardware 
which requires modesetting, so my best guess would be nolapic.
