su to root and edit your /etc/lilo.conf to add the following line in
the top (global) section:

append="mem=128M"

then save it and run /sbin/lilo then reboot.

The correct value might be 127M in many cases.

If there already is an append statement, add mem=128M to the end of
it after a space and inside the quotes.
