You need the i586 kernel for the AMD K6 machines. Bad news is CentOS 5 does not support it. Good news is CentOS 4 supports it.
Visit http://i586.centos.org/centos/4/ and you will find what is required to boot your system. Once booted, type 'linux i586' to start the installation.
Following on Akemi's excellent advice, CentOS 5 has much higher ram requirements due to yum and installer changes. The release notes recommend at least 512MB of ram, though 1G is preferable. From the sounds of things, Akemi is correct and CentOS 4 is really the only option unless you want to upgrade the hardware.
