Well, I'm pretty impressed...isn't 32 enough?? ;-)
Microsoft would rather you buy 32 PCs ;-)
Is this repeatable and consistent?
Are you sure you aren't running out of space (48 mbyte of swap is very
small for 128 mbyte of ram). Does anything else
happen "funny" on the system?
How does it fail when booting? You might want to run it under
strace.
