I sent a better patch to handle this correctly earlier this week (also available at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/grub/patches/grub-0.91-initrdusemem.patch) > grub-0.91-nomeminfo.patch - by default does not pass the "mem=" option > to the Linux kernel since Linux 2.4 is able to determine the memory > size by itself. Again, I'm not sure if it's of general interest. You can accomplish the same effect by passing --disable-auto-linux-mem-opt to configure.
