Perhaps yours is not the same as Peter's. There are two
possibilities. The one is that the memory detection is broken, so the
function `memcheck' may refuse a certain memory function. You can
check this possibility by using stage2_debug instead of stage2, and in
the command-line, type "displaymem". If the command show the correct
information about your computer, then the detection is no problem. The
other is that your stage2 is not allocated in contiguous blocks of
your disk. Stage1 cannot record more than 8 entries in the block-list,
so if your stage2 is scattered, then the installation will fail with
"Selected item cannot fit into memory". In this case, to use stage1.5
may solve the problem.
