Today I flashed back to the 0507 bios ( which had the problem we were talking about ).
After flashing I booted the install media to make sure the grub2 memory error still occurred ( it did ) and then I changed UEFI to disable the TPM and booted the installation media again.
With TPM disabled, no grub2 out of memory error and the installation proceeded normally. I did not actually do the install ( since I already reinstalled ) but I did go far enough to make sure no other issue occurred.
Thanks for confirming that the memory error is related to TPM. It's a bit difficult to reduce the memory usage with the current verifier framework in grub2 when TPM is enabled. At least you can work around the error by disabling TPM when installing the system.

THANK YOU for suggesting that as the source of the problem. Seems crazy that I have 64 GB of RAM and I got the out of memory issue but I suspect you're right and that the firmware is only initializing part of it to speed up the boot and therefore causing the issue. -- Regards, Joe
