Yes, logged in. I’ve never used YaST in text mode, and not much experience with YaST besides, so I’m having to learn as I go. It’s alright though, I know how to google 
I set the filter to patterns, and looked at the ones that seemed relevant.
“GNOME Desktop Environment (Basic)” 16 of 17 packages installed
“GNOME Desktop Environment (Wayland)” 32 of 40 packages installed
“GNOME Desktop Environment (X11)” 61 of 61 packages installed
“X Window System” 24 of 26 packages installed
The packages that aren’t installed don’t look important to me, it’s things like predictive text and personal organizers. Are all the patterns marked as installed meant to have all the packages installed, or is this ok?
Also, the live CD finished downloading. Ran it first with 4 cores, then 1 core, got the same results in both cases.
Normal boot, I get green dots for a minute, then orange dots which flicker about every second. Memory demand in Hyper-V is 1146MB.
In failsafe mode, I get green dots for a minute, then drops back to tty1. Above the normal tty prompt is the text that was displayed during startup, with the last lines being “Starting Show Plymouth Boot Screen…” and “Starting Wait for udev To Complete Device Initialization…”
Tried adding nomodeset to normal boot (only tried it with 1 core), got the same result as failsafe mode.
