I can confirm that diabling the "savedefault" line in the Vista stanza
*solves this problem*. Thanks, Piotr!

How do I proceed in pinpointing the bug?


Here's to removing that line from the autogenerated menu.lst (since, as
Piotr correctly notes, it doesn't do anything anyway, as long as the
value of 'default' is not 'saved').

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: grub
  
  Sometime between Hardy beta and Hardy, grub stopped booting my Windows
  Vista partition.
  
  Now, when I try to boot the Vista entry from grub, it fails with the
  following message:
  
  "
   Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory
  
  Press any key to continue...
  "
  
  My menu.lst was auto-generated by the Hardy beta installer, and I
  haven't touched it since. I occasionally boot the Vista partition, which
  worked fine up until a few days ago. Alas, I'm not really able to tell
  which grub version that caused this. I'll try to re-install some older
  versions and report back the results.
  
  
  I'm attaching my menu.lst. Please let me know if something else is needed.
  
  System info:
  
  Release:        8.04
  grub: 0.97-29ubuntu21
