I installed f12(constantine) i386 on kvm and experienced the same. Hard drive
installation failed for 212M memory(error occurred when searching the
install.img) but succeeded for 256M memory.

The release notes say the minimum required memory is 192M, but it's not
possible at least using this installation method.
