Hi!
Installing Linux on AMD A 8 + Radeon R5 seems to be a tricky thing.
Do a Google search with the exact specs of the CPU.
As far as I remember, you need to pass some parameters to kernel at boot time, in order to force the VESA mode, untill the install finishes. Than you can see what steps are required next.
As far as I've seen on other forums, Radeon works with Linux and there is kernel support for this CPU. I assume that there is a conflict between the kernel drivers and the standard supplied drivers in the installation kit.
I also had some trouble with my Intel GM45 Express, for the very same reason. After uninstalling the Intel drivers, everything went OK.
Good luck!
I hope that helped at least for the beginning.
Best regards!
