Hi James,
First, many thanks for your help.
The problem was the ammount of memory, but uppermem doesn't work !!!
I've tried:
uppermem=131072
root (hd1,1)
kernel .............
And it causes a kernel panic !!!
A little output here would be nice. I'm not sure how grub treats the '='
sign, but the documentation seems to suggest it should be "uppermem 131072".
Pulling out a ram stick, GNU/Hurd boots OK !!!
I've tried the grubs uppermem parameter with an L4/Fiasco kernel,
and grub works fine (is documented L4/Fiasco that doesn't boot
with more than 256 Mb)
Please ask on l4-hurd@gnu.org for information on L4 and Fiasco.
Maybe a mach/hurd BUG ??
There are many bugs in GNU Mach and in the Hurd, but we don't have enough
information so far to tell.
