error: out of memory.

The above messages are likely coming from the bootloader (grub2). Which
version of grub2 is being used? How exactly is the install being done,
e.g. via USB or some other method?

Can you try booting into the openfirmware prompt (Press 8 after
restarting or activating the LPAR) and print out the real-base value? It
should hopefully be set to the default value of 0xC00000.

0 > printenv real-base
-------------- Partition: common -------- Signature: 0x70 ---------------
real-base                c00000              c00000
ok

If not 0xC00000 then try setting it with

0 > setenv real-base c00000
