Still, that should be more than enough for installation. But: Jun 9 14:50:43 kernel: [0.123770] Memory: 338616K/1047968K available (14342K kernel code, 2324K rwdata, 8728K rodata, 2772K init, 17436K bss, 171224K reserved, 0K cma-reserved) How come available memory is so low ? Or am I misunderstanding ?

It seems like there must be a lot of kernel memory allocations that aren't being accounted here, and might have been leaked. But you will probably succeed in installing if you correct the memory allocation for this VM to the intended 32 GiB.
