Subject: Grub says: error out of memory
Hello,
I've been building my own Linux Kernel for years now, but I've normally
used Lilo and, subsequently, non UEFI systems. In getting a UEFI only
system, I'm now using grub and I'm having problems with it.

I've searched online, but can't find anything useful, so I'm asking here.
I'm running Devuan (Debian) Linux on an Intel 265K with an ASUS TUF GAMING
Z890-PLUS WIFI MB, 192GB RAM. I've not edited the grub entries/conf files.

Grub says:
Loading Linux 6.14.11-dav ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error: out of memory.

Press any key to continue...

After pressing enter the kernel starts to load, but the result is wonky.
The kernel says it cannot open block devices by UUID and I have to pass
the "root=" parameter (which I normally did with lilo).

There's no way I'm running out of RAM, so what's going on?
Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks!



Press 'e' at grub menu to edit.

at linux line, add 'gfxmode=640x480' and remove 'splash'
boot

if booted, reinstall grub (grub-install, not just update-grub)

If still unable to boot, let us know error message that appear.
