It writes a log to /tmp/install_log

You can also increase verbosity by
starting a gnome terminal and run
the installer like this:

$ export LS_DBG_LVL=4
$ export LS_DEST=3
$ pfexec /usr/bin/gui-install

/var/adm/messages is another file
where error messages could appear.

How much memory does that thinkpad have?

What is the target disk that you use for installation?
S-ATA? P-ATA? USB?  

What's the size of the fdisk partition that you've
assigned for OpenSolaris?
