Hi Tom,
I think I have the same problem with a Toshiba Tecra A4.
- 2GB RAM
- 250GB HDD (seagate)
- Was happily running Ubuntu 9.x
I have downloaded and verified the installation disks for both 10.04 and 10.10.
I can boot and run both demo versions from the installation disks.
After a clean install to harddrive,
On booting I get the messages;
error: cannot allocate real mode pages
error: you need to load the kernel first
Failed to boot both default and fallback entries.
Press any key to continue...
I can perform a memory test from the demo/installation disk. This finds
no errors.
After installing 10.10, I get a GRUB menu after booting - offering a choice of
Ubuntu or memtest86+
When I attempt to launch the memory test (memtest86+) from the GRUB menu
(version 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3),
I get the following error
error: too small lower memory (0x99100 > 0x0).
....sounds like your problem?
