How much memory does the machine have?

Can you grab /tmp/anaconda.log and /tmp/syslog from the machine once you hit this error?  You may need to add the "nokill" parameter.

According beaker information, the machine has 867 MB of memory.

Anaconda log:
http://beaker-archive.app.eng.bos.redhat.com/beaker-logs/2011/02/560/56053/114232///anaconda.log
sys.log beaker provides, not sure if is identical with /tmp/syslog

Just as I thought - first depmod, then anaconda are getting killed by the oom killer.  I don't know that there's anything we can do about this situation.
