As Pavel replied, this is because grub doesn't take into account mem=
when determining where to load the initrd. Package with the fix is
sitting at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/grub/grub-0.91-1.7x.i386.rpm.
Actual patch against CVS sent a few minutes ago if you'd rather go that
route (see [PATCH] Parse mem= on Linux kernel command line to change
initrd load address)
Cheers,
