The issue was encountered while trying to install Fedora 17 Beta on an IBM 3650 M3 server.
That's a pretty strange error. If you can reproduce it, can you switch to tty2 and see how much memory is free when the error occurs?
The issue was initially encountered using Fedora 17 Beta. After using Fedora 17 GA version, I was not able to reproduce it.
