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.
http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=767

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.

Booting with Grub worked fine on the nForce based MSI K7N420pro with Bios 
Versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, but stopped working with 2.5 and upwards. 
Asus nForce boards seem to have had this problem from the beginning from what i 
can tell from newsgroups.

A "Selected Item cannot fit in to memory" while at the same time recognizing 
1024MB of memory somehow seems weird :-)

Please fix that, grub is just to great to continue using LILO :-)

Yours sincerely,
                  Gerald <address@hidden>

I have the same problem after a BIOS update
(Before grub did not have any problems booting redhat7.3)

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.
