no kernel recompile needed. it's just a configuration change for
the boot loader. since you're using fedora core 4 you have to
open the file /boot/grub/grub.conf where you see stuff like
this (this is part of my grub.conf, but i'm not using fedora so
yours is different):

title = Linux - 2.6.13
       kernel = (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.13 root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x317 5

what you need to do is adding the reserve= parameter to the kernel= line
eg:
	    kernel = (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.13 root=/dev/hda2 reserve=0x1e000000,0x2000000 vga=0x317 5

you get the idea...
