In your logs I see this:
(EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
The (EE) denotes an error passed.
This means that the kernel could not provide /dev/dri
More recent kernels enable KMS (kernel mode setting) by default so you will probably need to disable this by passing an argument to the kernel at boot time. This can be done by hitting the TAB button (non EFI machines only) when you arrive at the blue boot splash screen with the options to choose your boot mode. You can also add the line to the /mnt/sdc1/boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg file if you don't want to type it everytime at the boot menu. The string to add is: nomodeset
Once you get to boot can you please provide the output of: lspci -k
This comand will show a list of pci devices and which kernel module is loaded for the device. Thanks.
