So the most recent kernel kills readability of your screen with KMS on console... you could try the linux-lts kernel as a workaround for your problem.

If I delete param set gfxpayload of grub work all well, and can install also xfce4. In x86_64 I don't know if he problem exist

same problem bun in x86_64 but same solution as igallart post.
So remove gfxplayload is the solution
