I have both motherboards A7N266-C and A7N266-E and can report the same. Grub 
reports lowmem to 512KB (instead of 640). I think that's the problem.

Summary:  Nforce chipsets (A7N266-VM, etc) give error 28

Original Submission:  This error occurs on boot:

error 28: Selected Item cannot fit in to memory. 

There is good info here, as well as the search "grub a7n266-vm" on google.

Basically, grub refuses to boot Linux with a nforce board.  I just upgraded my 
PC and it will not boot RH 7.2, but gives that error.  It WILL boot Windoze 98.

If you need more info, feel free to contact address@hidden&SPAM*.com

Thank you for your time, and for working on such a great program.
