Old hardware?

Try adding this line to your /etc/lilo.conf file in the section
for the kernel you're booting:

  append="mem=128M"

Or if you want to play it safe:

  append="mem=127M"

Then run "lilo" as root.

Extract the file somewhere and follow the instructions that [hopefully]
came with it.  Tar file installations vary from package to package, 
so I can't be any more specific without guessing.
