My guess is hardware. I have 256M and it works fine. One other thing to try, first, though: I'm assuming that you have the proper append="mem=256M" line in your lilo.conf. Try setting that to 255M instead. Some boards "borrow" a little bit of RAM and it makes Linux very unhappy to not have all the ram it thinks it has. I've seen a couple of people suggest setting the mem= line to a little bit lower to compensate for this. You might also try swapping the DIMMS(?) to see if that changes anything.
