You really do not have enough RAM; I think the minimum for F8 is 512 Mbytes.

Since xen and KVM both require real RAM, and since F8 generally doesn't 
perform all that well in 512 Mbytes I suggest you add a bit.

My F8 test box has 2 Gbytes, and I'm contemplating removing half that 
and adding a pair of 2 Gbyte sticks.
