No luck with my AMD Fusion with HD6410D. Exactly the same stalling point. Fortunately I have an NVIDIA graphics card. Using the NVIDIA I can install and run with no problems.

I don't have your hardware so can only hazard a guess, but you could try booting the LiveDVD, pressing F5 and appending the parameter xdriver=ati (closed-source AMD driver) to the kernel boot line. If that doesn't work, I'd try xdriver=radeon (open-source ATI driver). And if that doesn't work, I'd try xdriver=vesa (open-source 'lowest common denominator' driver) and then try and install the closed-source driver afterwards.
