I am not sure whether you run into this bug or not:
6816405 - cannot install osol 109 or snv_110 on Fujitsu Lifebook S7110
laptop due to hang.
can you try to see whether the workaround will work:
To disable low RAM method:
1) pass "-B ibft-noprobe=1" on kernel command line
2) add line "set ibft_noprobe=1" in /etc/system
