Description:   Opened: 2005-11-03 12:34 0000 
I have not verified this problem on x86, but on x86_64 any machine with greater
than 2gb of ram will not load.  You get "error 28 : Selected item cannot fit
into memory".  This is due to grub not correctly detecting the amount of ram. 
Attached is a patch against 0.97 to correct this.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install grub on system with more than 2gb of ram.
2.  Boot.
3.

Is this the same issue as in Bug 99897? If so, could you attach the patch there
instead and mark this bug as duplicate, please?

I don't know if it is the same problem as 99897.  The bug there is talking
about
not detecting all the ram.  Grub will show you that it found 4gb of ram, it is
just not able to allocate it.  This patch corrects that.

looks the same to me, error message on both is cannot fit in memory
