We have run into this before on whether it was out of RAM, Disk space...... I do not remember what the fix was. Because several things was done. If you have factory installed ram of only 256-512meg, increase it to a min of 1 gig. If you have any services running (AV/ Diaster recovery/snapshot) you need to stop them. And remove any files they have on the server.

Have you tried the install from the diaster recovery console? If not this is actually the recommended way due to the fact no services have been loaded yet. touch /nopivot from debug will reboot the server and give the diaster recovery console. From their you will have the option. A clean install will wipe all data.....
