A workaround for that problem is to run "uppermem" first of all, then
load a kernel and an initrd afterwards. This is clearly documented in
the manual.
Here is an example:
title Linux with less memory
uppermem 8192000 # 800MB.
kernel /boot/vmlinuz mem=800M root=... # Specify options appropriately.
initrd /boot/initrd
Jeremy, I don't stop you making your own patch to have GRUB to load an
initrd more elegantly, but I remember that a patch has already been
written for the Conectiva version. Thus, it might be easier to adapt
the patch to the CVS, rather than reinventing the wheel.
