Linux reboots right after Grug runs initrd

Hello

I'm no Linux expert. I installed CentOS 5.1 on an IDE drive,
and moved it to an old IBM thinclient: right after Grub runs "initrd
/boot/initrd-2.6.img", the PC restarts.

FWIW, the thinclient only has 128MB and the HD is 20GB, one partition,
and adding mem=128MB to the "kernel" line in Grub doesn't solve the
issue.

Any idea what it could be?

Thank you.
