Comment (by cdesai):

 * First boot without any special settings: results in black screen
 Yes.
 * Black screen is caused by wrong video mode choice (have you checked
 this, which mode is chosen?)
 I couldn't find the mode from a quick look in the bootloader, and couldn't
 save it as I didn't have a FAT partition / another drive at that time,
 sory.
 * Checking "use failsafe video mode" gets system to work (no need to force
 a video mode?)
 I had to force Standard VG
 * Forcing a 4:3 video mode + "use failsafe video mode" works?
 I tried a few and they didn't work.
 * Once booted this way, setting a video mode in preferences > screen and
 rebooting normally (with the intel driver), does that work?
 There were no 16:9 options there.
 * After having set a video mode this way and rebooting, can you go to
 screen preferences again and set the native resolution? Does it work then?
 Like above, no 16:9 options.
 * Does the panic happen only in 'show debug on screen' mode?
 Yes.



 I have had a hardware configuration, got a new graphics card (AMD R9 270),
 and that worked well - same build, booted off live usb, it picked
 1600x900@60 and worked just fine.
 Unfortunately, this also means I won't be able to test the older
 configuration now.
