I've tested this on those machines, unfortunately same issue. Works fine in VirtualBox starting up at 800x600.
However, I did try it on the Acer Aspire One ES1-111CP POS (luckily I remembered the supervisor password as it wouldn't boot, not been turned on in years and the battery has never worked, guess it lost some of its settings due to flat CMOS cell). On this, it boots into normal mode with 1366x768 resolution .. and FAST. I had the icons in around a minute from power-up. (ALPHA3 ISO).
