I try to install RH Linux 5.1 on a PC 386 with 4MB of RAM and a 234 MB Hard
drive.
During the install I receive the following messages

"Couldn't get free page"
"out of memory VFS : Cannot open root device"
"Kernel Panic : VFS : Unable to mount root fs"

and the boot program stops

Can you help me to know the origin of these messages

Tanks you
