I am get the message saying: "not enough RAM"
Here the are the specs:

Memory:
- Minimum for text-mode: 64MB
- Minimum for graphical: 128MB
- Recommended for graphical: 192MB
Source:

You can try to perform the installation using text mode.

Sergejs.

Regards

linux mem=exactmap mem=640K@0 mem=162M@1M
Look, I don't know if this is the exact parameter, but you should investigate more on the exactmap option.
