update ======= Our workstation is an IBM 6217 (single core or Dual Core), 4G of Ram, with a sata drive. If I start the installation normal, it will failed lot of time. But if I put mem=512M at the beginning of the installation (ie linux mem=512M), it works (We try it more than 10 times without fails). log will be sended soon. er
when adding "mem=512M" in the command line to start the installer, it works fine. But after the installation, when rebooting, the system freeze often at step "first reboot".
