Lubuntu vivid amd64 2015-01-28 does not boot on a MacBookPro. Here are the hardware specs

Here is the image which does not boot:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/326/builds/88376/downloads

The image starts in "insecure mode" and then GRUB comes up and offers several choices. When choosing "Try Lubuntu without installing" it runs for a few seconds and then freezes, apparently indefinitely. There is no way to get to another console with ctrl-alt-f1 or anything else. The only text on the console is:

[ 7.093063] i i8042: No controller found
starting version 218

More or less the same error occurs when choosing "Install Lubuntu" from GRUB
