Grub Error Windows 7
house. After the install process which was successful i reboot only to find that grub tells me error 28 (0k lower / grub error 17 0k upper). I have used this version of centos in the past on other systems (with no problem) that were not as new as the one i am currently trying to use. My current setup is grub error 22 core 2 duo with 4g ram lsi raid 10 3.6tb. I have never had to change anything involving the bootloader before so i am not sure where to start to even look to find what the issue is. I would guess that it is trying to tell me that there is not enuff memory to start the kernel but how do i fix this.... -Thanxrob Top YBellefeuille Posts: 312 Joined: 2012/03/06 22:30:17 Location:

This 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.
That's a new one for me. Please post the contents of /boot/grub/grub.conf and the result of this command: ls -al /boot.

After installation a reboot is required without cd (but usb in my case). When the PC reboots I get following error: Code: Booting 'opensuse 12.1' root(hd0,1) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.1.0-1.2-desktop root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6V320F0_V60SJM5G-part2 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6V320F0_V60SJM5G-part2 splash=silent quiet showopts vga=0x31a [Linux-bzimage, setup=0x4200, size=0x4baef0] initrd /boot/initrd-3.1.0-1.2-desktop error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory Press any key to continue... I tried 2 installations but same result. I have 2GB RAM so that can't be the problem. I also format my root partition as ext4, but the error says something about ext2fs... I didn't change any of the default grub settings neither. Can someone help me? I already tried failsafe but no result.

Solution Boot the installed system as follows: Boot from your CD or DVD as for an install. Select 'Installation' (already preset). Select your language. In the next menu, select 'Boot installed system' The root partition is detected automatically and the system will be booted from it. Since Grub in the current version is not able to boot on such a system, you should switch from Grub to Lilo as described in Replacing the Boot Loader GRUB with LILO in SuSE 8.1 ("http://support.novell.com/techcenter/sdb/en/2002/12/fhassel_grub_lilo.html ).

Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up Grub error 28: selected item cannot fit into memory when writing higher half kernel up vote 3 down vote favorite 1 I am trying to write a very basic kernel for i386 32-bit. I have been following JamesM's kernel tutorials. My kernel code itself currently does very little - where I am struggling is trying to get grub to correctly load the higher-half format I've chosen to work with. The advice for doing that is described in this answer and I'm working roughly with the higher half bare bones. My test environment is bochs, with a grub floppy (0.97/legacy). To give you an idea of where I'm up to, I have a very simple do-almost-nothing "main" routine: [section .text] align 4 ; setting up entry point for linker start equ (start_vma - 0xBFF00000) ; entry point start_vma: push ebx mov eax, 0xCCCCCCCC hlt This technique gives me: bjdump -x kernel | grep "start" start address 0x00100000 c0000000 g .text 00000000 start_vma 00100000 g .text 00000000 start Then what I have done is to use the linker script to set the LMA (physical address load points) to 1MB, but the VMAs to 3GB, like so: OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386) ENTRY(start) KERNEL_MBOOT = 0x400; KERNEL_VMA = 0xC0000000; KERNEL_LMA_OFFSET = 0xBFF00000; PHDRS { headers PT_PHDR PHDRS ; mboot PT_LOAD FILEHDR ; text PT_LOAD FILEHDR ; data PT_LOAD ; } SECTIONS { . = KERNEL_MBOOT; .mboot : AT(KERNEL_VMA - KERNEL_LMA_OFFSET) { *(.mboot) } : mboot . = KERNEL_VMA; .text : AT(ADDR(.text)+ADDR(.mboot) - KERNEL_LMA_OFFSET) { code = .; _code = .; __code = .;*/ *(.text) *(.rodata*) } : text .data ALIGN (0x1000) : AT(ADDR(.data) - KERNEL_LMA_OFFSET) { data = .; _data = .; __data = .; *(.data) *(.rodata) } : data .bss : AT(ADDR(.bss) - KERNEL_LMA_OFFSET) { bss = .; _bss = .; __bss = .; *(.bss) *(COMMON) ebss = .; } : data end = .; _end = .; __end = .; } Or at least so I believe. Explanation. Certainly, this is what I have in my object: $ objdump -h kernel.bin file format elf32-i386 Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .mboot 0000000c 00000400 00100000 00000400 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, D
