Hi,

I use the Wittowski's kernel on my LC III 12MB RAM, 768 VRAM, w/o FPU, 1Go
internal HDD-Fujitsu.

I remark 2 points on your configuration.

1. You have to boot less than 8 bit color mode. It is better to boot on 1
bit color (B/W) mode. In my experience, I didn't success to boot on 16 bit
color mode.

2. You have to set 72MB of swap partition. It means that you need to set
the swap partition for twice space of RAM capacity.

Good chance.
