From grub web:

28 : Selected item cannot fit into memory This error is returned if a kernel, module, or raw file load command is either trying to load its data such that it won't fit into memory or it is simply too big. I found several forums where people describe this problem. There should be: - too low RAM (minimum for 10.3 is 256MB) - problem with BIOS Could you try update your BIOS? Could you send me YaST logs please? Upgrading of RAM should helps too. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Torsten could you write there any hints what should be wrong please? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What do you mean with mounting /boot only on demand? Afaik having a separate /boot when your root is on LVM is not that special and required. I managed to fix it by going back to the grub package of 10.2 so for me the bug is not that critical but I want to make sure these issues don't happen in future versions anymore. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I assume this is the line you are referring to in y2log: 2008-04-21 11:41:16 <1> Rescue(8924) [libstorage] Volume.cc(getFstabData):263 line[/dev/sda1]=noauto:0 fstopt:defaults I assume the fsopt= corresponds to the 4th column in /etc/fstab, to what field does the noauto:0 correspond then? Sorry for being such a pain but I want to understand what went wrong since there are still a number of other similar machines which I have to upgrade. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Final remark: Any chance that Yast proposes those options by default when using ext2 for the /boot partition? I quickly checked another machine which is still 10.2 and it also has these options for the /boot partition? Since the grub package from 10.2 works maybe these never caused problems in the past and therefore did not show up as being an issue? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
