Hi James, First, many thanks for your help.
The problem was the ammount of memory, but uppermem doesn't work !!! I've tried: uppermem=131072 root (hd1,1) kernel ............. And it causes a kernel panic !!! Pulling out a ram stick, GNU/Hurd boots OK !!! I've tried the grubs uppermem parameter with an L4/Fiasco kernel, and grub works fine (is documented L4/Fiasco that doesn't boot with more than 256 Mb) Maybe a mach/hurd BUG ?? --- Gerardo Pirla Diaz --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi
I was reading somewhere that there is 700 and something MB limit on the ram. If the box with 1 GB of ram can't boot with the old grub
syntax than maybe pulling out a stick of ram might work. I'm not
sure if that Ram issue was resolved tho.
Thanks

There is no reason to physically remove ram from a machine. GRUB has an option, uppermem, that limits the amount of RAM the os booting from GRUB sees. ===== James Morrison University of Waterloo Computer Science - Digital Hardware 2B http://hurd.dyndns.org Anyone referring to this as 'Open Source' shall be eaten by a GNU _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
