Unable to install elementaryOS on Lenovo ThinkPad T430u - Blank screen on boot

[danzek]

What Happened?

When I attempt to boot to installation media for elementaryOS 6.1 on a ThinkPad T430u, the screen goes blank and nothing happens. I am unable to get into a shell/TTY or anything. It is just a blank screen and does nothing.

I can boot the computer up normally just fine (currently has openSUSE 15.2 Leap installed on it), but it won't load my elementaryOS installation media.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Downloaded elementary OS 6.1 Jólnir ISO
2. Created bootable USB drives using balena Etcher v1.10.2 (latest) on macOS Monterey 12.6 (I tried on different sizes and manufacturers for USB drives with the same results for all of them)
3. Boot laptop to the USB drive with installation ISO
4. A blank / black screen appears

Expected Behavior

Install elementaryOS or at least get to a shell or somewhere I can view logs of what is going wrong. It's just a blank screen / nothing shown whatsoever.

OS Version

6.x (Odin)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

Log Output

No logs since I can't see or do anything when trying to install.

Hardware Info

Lenovo ThinkPad T430u

If helpful to note, I can install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS just fine on this system from the same USB drives and it loads the splash screen and installer just fine. So this seems specific to elementaryOS.
