What surprices me is that is hangs the whole system. I can not login,
reboot, access the kernel debugger or anything. I can only unplug the
power and reboot after issueing this command.
Is this caused because the system has no enough memory or am I missing
something obvious here?

If you read section 14 of the FAQ :
"A rough guideline is the system should have at least 1M of available
memory for every 1G of disk space to successfully fsck the disk."
So yes it is a memory issue, your 500G disk is too big for your Alix1c.
Now you know ;)
