1gb is enough memory for the installation. In order to find out
where machine is hanging, could you please enable debug output
for modules to be loaded:
In the GRUB item, type "e" (for edit) and
then another "e" and then add "-k -d " to the end of the kernel line.
Finally, press return to boot this entry.
This will cause the kernel debugger to load
Loading kmdb...
Welcome to kmdb
kmdb: unable to determine terminal type: assuming `vt100'
Loaded modules: [ unix krtld genunix ]
[0]>
At the prompt, enter "moddebug/W 0x80000000", <return> and then ":c",
<return> which will then print out each module as it's being loaded.
Following blog provides more details about the procedure:
