Hello, I had a problem with Grub loading Linux, that I could only resolve by using lilo. The main Grub Bug Tracking System (as pointed to in http://www.gnu.org/software/grub) seems to be down, so I am posting this.
It might very well be that this has been fixed some time ago, as what I am describing happened to me with the Grub version that came with RedHat 7.3. In that case I my apologies for wasting your time. I am using a kernel that has its PAGE_OFFSET at 3.5GB (instead of 3GB), to be able to run bigger processes. If I load this kernel with grub, and try to load an initial ramdisk, the kernel dies with the message: initrd extends beyond end of memory ... disabling initrd If I create a kernel that does not use an initrd, it works just fine. This is a production machine, and I cannot take it down for any tests. With lilo it worked out of the box. regards, chm. -- christian mautner -- chm bei istop punkt com -- ottawa, canada _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
