problem installing RH 8.0 -- kernel size
Help, i have a weird install problem !
I have a dual boot box (win98 and RH 8.0) [2 IDE 40 GB drives, one for each OS.] after installing *all* of rh 8.0 in the second disk, installing grub on the MBR of the first disk, and rebooting, i get this message: root(hd1,0) filesytem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ hdh=ide-scsi [linux.bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x10ea0d] Err 28: selected item cannot fit into memory Press any key to continue... ------------------------ so, what is going on here ? i dont know in what units the size is measured, but my 512MB of main memory should be plenty... i had chosen all the defaults for the RH 8.0 install (auto-partitioning, etc.) -- i expected it to work ! thanks -- josie ----------------------- ps: the hardware config is as follows: - A7V8X ASUS mobo -- 1900+ AMD K7 Athlon XP -- 512 MB - 2 40 IDE GB hard disks (first drive for win98, second for rh 8.0) (on oboard IDE controller) - DVD ROM (on onboard IDE controller) - CD RW 48x16x48x (on onboard IDE controller) - LS-120 (instead of floppy drive) (on PCI card IDE controller) - 64MB GeoForce4 AGP - Dell monitor (oldie) - MS web keyboard (102 standard keys plus web keys) - intelimouse PS/2 |
Have you tried booting RH from a bootdisk?

I had the exact same problem with an ASUS A7N266-VM MoBo. I upgraded to GRUB .93 and was finally able to boot. You can get it from here: http://people.debian.org/~nobse/debi...ckported/grub/
