As Pavel replied, this is because grub doesn't take into account mem= when determining where to load the initrd. Package with the fix is sitting at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/grub/grub-0.91-1.7x.i386.rpm. Actual patch against CVS sent a few minutes ago if you'd rather go that route (see [PATCH] Parse mem= on Linux kernel command line to change initrd load address) Cheers, Jeremy _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
