ISTR there is something unusual about Kangaroo devices, but right now the details escape me. If you can install Ubuntu, perhaps try using an Ubuntu Live USB to manually install. Basically you need to create two partitions; one 512MB and the second for the remaining space, both ext4 and install grub as the bootloader (same as Ubuntu). Now copy the contents of the first partition of the LE installer USB to the 512MB partition and translate the contents of the extlinux.conf file to grub's format. I'm a little light on details here, but creating two partitions, copy the files, configure the bootloader is all our own installer script does.
