You can easily get NFS problems in low-memory situations and very high MTUs can add to this problem. Does adding RAM and/or reducing the MTU to ethernet-size with "ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500" reduce the symptons? What NFS-server is used for the installation? Are http/ftp installs ok, or do they show similar issues? > Now, decreasing storage of my VM Guest helped a little (even if install > didn't go to the end...), so I (again) really suspect there's a problem > of defining all guests, at the different levels, defining the right amount > of storage and page space at the different levels....
