At what stage in the boot process, and what CPU (and how
much RAM) do you have?
It may be an A20 gate problem, especially if it is an older
motherboard; if your BIOS has any settings (maybe in "Advanced
Configuration" or "Motherboard Setup" or somesuch) with a name
referring to A20 or to memory above 1MB, try changing it and see
what happens.
