  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".

   With grub-0.92 works "uppermem=131072" and "uppermem 131072" fine...
   With a previous grub's version, "uppermem 131072" doesn't work


  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.

   I've not found problems booting L4/Fiasco using "uppermem=131072) on
   grub. Boots OK.


  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.

Anyone could tell me how to capture the "dmesg" if I couldn't boot the kernel ? After a few seconds of static "kernel page ......." the kernel reboots my system.
