GRUB passes invalid mem= parameter to Linux kernel on system with512 MB of physical RAM

I have discovered that this was the issue with a system that I had previously reported that GRUB would Oops the kernel on - this is the reason. Using the --no-mem-option flag to the 'kernel' command at the grub prompt causes this problem to go away. Derrik Pates | Sysadmin, Douglas School

Re: grub and memory access

count, and Windows talks directly to the BIOS during boot to get the memory total (afaik). If it were Linux, *BSD, or a Mach-based kernel, then you could, either by modifying GRUB's idea of the memory layout, or by just passing an arg (like the Linux kernel's 'mem=' parameter). Derrik Pates
