[Solved] Unable to bool from live dvd / usb

I decided to install Arch on my old Lenovo Ideapad Y560. However the boot process stops after few seconds.
Here is a screen from the boot process, after that, text disappears and screen goes black forever (I tried waiting 30 mins).

I've found this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=78334
Just to make sure, does that mean I cant install Arch, because the hardware is not supported, or is there a solution?
