Hmm, yeah, doesn't sound like RAM, then.

When it's in the apparently-stuck state, can you get to a console with
ctrl-alt-f2 or ctrl-alt-f3 and see what the journal and /tmp/*.log
files show? If not, since you say it seems like the install actually
completes, can you boot the installed system and look at the logs in
/var/log/anaconda and see what they say?

Thanks!
