RE: Grub does not detect all memory - was: (no subject)

[Treutwein Bernhard]

I am not shure if this applies here, but there is an 
Grub command called uppermem, the manual says you
should use it with care. You should also try
displaymem from the command line beforehand.
(see the Grub manual).

  make;make install;
  /home/grub/sbin/grub
  root (hd0,0)
  setup (hd0) 
  
  The error exists
 
3,boot 
  grub>root(hd0,0)
  grub>kernel /vmlinux ro root=/dev/sda5 mem=32M
  
  Grub means 'no so much mem'
 
4,I return to lilo
 
 
But i like GRUB
 
I am so sorry for my poor English!
