Can you debug it yourself a bit? I cannot afford buying so much memory. ;)
In loader/i386/pc/linux.c, there is a piece of code like this:
if (grub_file_size (file) > (grub_ssize_t) grub_os_area_size)
{
grub_error (GRUB_ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE, "too big kernel");
goto fail;
}
Can you see what is printed when you change this to:
if (grub_file_size (file) > (grub_ssize_t) grub_os_area_size)
{
grub_error (GRUB_ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE, "too big kernel (0x%x > 0x%x)",
grub_file_size (file), grub_os_area_size);
goto fail;
}
Cheers,
Okuji
