I'm no expert, but I thought there was an arguement you could pass to the boot loader to specify the ammount of memory the setup program should use....
I cant remember how to do it, but basically instead if just hitting enter when the cd-rom boots, i think you type something like linux mem=64 or something like that...check the help screen when the cd-rom boots.
This MIGHT fix the problem.
I have experienced similar problems to what your describing, but not because of alot of memory, it was because of faulty memory, so you might want to make sure your memory isn't ill.
