It seems you are running into some kind of incompatibility with your
video devices, perhaps you could try the alternate CD that that has a
text interface.

The messages indicates that the video-driver is not correctly
configured: mots of the times it indicates that the vertical refresh
frequency of your monitor is out of range, i.e. the driver chosen by the
video control process has chosen a too high range. This happens with
older and/or cheap screens.
As you say that booting continues, you can try to login on a terminal
process by typing pressing ctrl & alt and in the same time F1 (function
key 1).
Hope this helps,
Joep
