However instead of booting, the PC just said: "Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory". Fortunately this is covered by [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319837 this Debian bug]. It's still not been fixed, in the meantime you can grab this [http://www.smop.co.uk/files/memtest precompiled] memtest86+ ELF binary (not the usual x86 boot sector). You need to boot it slightly differently, my grub entry is: title Memtest (ELF - 4GB fix) root (hd0,0) kernel -type=netbsd /memtest boot Posted: January 4th, 2009 under Linux.

rayman Member Registered: 2010-09-09 Posts: 37 Grub error 28: selected item cannot https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=125649 fit into memory I installed arch, systemrescuecd, and trinity http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=136891.0 rescue kit on a usb stick. I used the mbr arch installed, grub 0.97, and edited the menu.lst to boot all os'es on the usb. SystemRescueCD provides an os with all kinds of "rescue" tools, but also error 28 other tools like GAG(gag.sourceforge.net/index.html), Memtest86, FreeDos etc, which can be booted from the bootloader.But, when I try to boot GAG, Memtest86, or FreeDos, grub gives me an error saying "error 28: selected item cannot fit into memory". According to grub, my lower memory is 630K, and error 28 selected my upper memory is about 3.4GiB. The GAG "kernel", is 24.7 kb, and the GAG initrd is 267.8 kb. This is not really arch related, I know, but still, if you can help me, I'd be very thankful. Google doesn't seem to help me on this one.

Recently I have started getting "Grub error 28" poping up right after 'Grub 1.5'. Booting halts at that point. If I turn desktop computer off and back on the boot continues without any error showing. I did a search in the forum for 'error 28' and saw a listing of the different grub errors. Error 28 is : Error 28 : Selected item cannot fit into memoryThis error is returned if a kernel, module, or raw file load command is either trying to load its data such that it won't fit into memory or it is simply too big.Not sure what all this means or how to fix it. Should I try installing another kernel or something? « Last Edit: March 30, 2016, 01:23:50 PM by jim2u71 » Logged cyrwyn Hero Member Posts: 1130 Re: Grub error 28 « Reply #1 on: March 28, 2016, 09:00:16 AM » Which kernel are you running? Did this problem begin after you installed a new kernel? But I suspect you should run memtest at boot. Let it run for a couple of hours.
