Hello linuxers,
I recently upgraded my system to an Athlon XP 2000+ , 256 mb DDR RAM , 80 GB HDD , Asus A7N266-VM motherboard with a built in GEFORCE 2 MX display card.
I installed red hat 7.3 on the new system (dual boot with windows 98 se running on the primary partition). However when i try to boot into linux i get the following error message : ------------------------------------------------------------------ root(hd0,8)
file system type is ext2fs partition type 0x83 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=/dev/hda9 hdc=ide-scsi [linux-bzimage,setup-0x1400,size=0xff8b0]
error 28: selected item doesn't fit into memory.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thinking that it could possibly have something to do with the location on the HDD where linux was installed , I reinstalled red hat 7.3 on an old 4.3 GB HDD as the only OS ; still getting the same error though.
Could someone please pin point the cause of the problem and suggest a way of getting around it.
