Bug Description
Installing quantal 20120913 server image hangs at detecting disks and all other hardware with 128M. Our currently stated minimum system requirements include 128M ram for -server installs, so I'm using a KVM session with 128M to test this.
Bumping this to 256 will allow it to make it through the install, but still get's lots of OOMs throughout the installation process.

Here's a log from an install with 256M that finished, but had lots of OOMs throughout. As another datapoint, with 512M I am able to complete the install without OOM.
