I did already try that (you can see the full output I got in the previous mail).
It succeeded to boot just once and showed the installation screen but
then I wanted to see if it was just random luck and I rebooted the
machine, tried again the same command, then it went on hanging during
the boot process. Tried multiple times and it still hangs.
I guess it was just random luck to make it boot once.

I do have a question, let's say I succeed to boot it and make it to
the installation screen, do I proceed with the installation as normal?
I mean, what are the implications of installing with the nouveau
driver disabled?
