How much memory do you have on that system? If you have less than 2G of memory, that might be the cause of the problem. In that case you have to setup swap before you can install. (I’m not sure of the details of how that is managed).
You can use CTRL-ALT-F2 to get to a command line, and run it there. But if you are short of memory, there might not be enough space for that either.
Once you have run “save_y2logs”, you would have to copy that to somewhere on disk (or USB).
And, finally, CTRL-ALT-F7 gets you back to the install GUI screen.
I have 8 GB of memory. So it’s larger than 2 GB and should be enough
I’m going to try to run save_y2logs by your approach.
By the way, this is the error text, just in case:
Internal error. Please report a bug report with logs.
Run save_y2logs to get complete logs.

Start the Ruby debugger now and debug the issue? (Experts only!)

Normally, during install “/tmp” and some other file systems are allocated from memory. Your 8G of memory should be sufficient. So it looks as if you have somehit hit a bug in the installer.
I suggest filing a bug report, even though you are unable to get the logs. Provide what information you can. Or at least provide a link to this thread where you have posted some information.
