Bug 102222

Description of problem:
I tried installing Taroon on a IBM NetVista A30p with 128MB of memory. The 
system has the Intel 845G chipset meaning that some of the system memory gets 
used for video.

During the phase of install where filesystems get created, the install 
crashed. Text mode install works fine.

Installing Severn produced a simular crash at the same point, RH9 installed 
fine.

I suspect it has to do with the amount of memory as severn
