I've seen this behavior before: you can boot from the install media
and even do an install with no problems, but the installed image fails
to boot fully.  It's caused by the VESA video driver, which will only
run correctly with a BIOS boot, not with a UEFI boot.  The installer
itself can be booted either way.
