Below is a log of an attempted installation while my system is up and running RH7.3. The first time I run this it fails as shown below with the error 28 (Selected item cannot fit into memory) and the next time I run it there are no problems. Nothing changes in between runs. I have attached straces of both the failing case and the good case. I am now instrumenting grub code to differentiate which of the many places for this error to originate but I am very curious to know if this is a known bug that has been fixed in 0.93?
Thanks Brett
