Error 28: Selected item cannot fit in memory

Hello,
I am getting this error "Error 28: Selected item cannot fit in memory" when trying to jumpstart an x86 server. This happens when GRUB tries to load x86.miniroot. I am using latest Solaris 10 x86 U9
I have a server with 4GB of memory. Any idea what can the problem be?

This is just a guess...
The Solaris installation process is 32bit, regardless that the final environment will be 64bit if your hardware supports 64bit. A 32bit installation takes fewer resources and works on every system.
x86 hardware, plus 4GB of RAM and a 32bit environment just doesn't play well.
Memory address allocation for hardware is sometimes taken from the `front` of the address space instead of the hoped-for `end` of the memory in a system.
(Go look it up. The Internet is flooded with whiny postings of "why can't my 32bit OS see all my RAM".)
Temporarily reduce your total RAM, such as to 2GB. You can return it after Solaris is in place.
Go through the old read-only Sun Solaris forums.

They haven't all been migrated to Oracle yet (and may never all make it across).
This issue doesn't exist for SPARC systems.

    Any idea to help me?

  • Grub error 28: selected item cannot fit into memory

    I installed arch, systemrescuecd, and trinity rescue kit on a usb stick. I used the mbr arch installed, grub 0.97, and edited the menu.lst to boot all os'es on the usb.
    SystemRescueCD provides an os with all kinds of "rescue" tools, but also other tools like GAG(gag.sourceforge.net/index.html), Memtest86, FreeDos etc, which can be booted from the bootloader.
    But, when I try to boot GAG, Memtest86, or FreeDos, grub gives me an error saying "error 28: selected item cannot fit into memory". According to grub, my lower memory is 630K, and my upper memory is about 3.4GiB. The GAG "kernel", is 24.7 kb, and the GAG initrd is 267.8 kb.
    This is not really arch related, I know, but still, if you can help me, I'd be very thankful. Google doesn't seem to help me on this one.

    Hello again,
    i tried with Solaris 10 5/08 on VMware ESX 3.5 and VMware Server 2, both failed. I tried several ISO images, mounted as ISO or DVD, altered BIOS parameters in VMware ESX, but nothing works for me.
    VMs where created with 1024mb RAM and 8GB disk space, more than recommended.VMware seems to be more successful with installing Solaris10:
    http://pubs.vmware.com/guestnotes/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=guestnotes&file=choose_install_guest_os.html#3888649
    It seems to be a problem of GRUB in Solaris 10 5/08, but i don't know how to solve it. Every idea might be a great help for me.

  • Error 28: selected item cannot fit into memory

    Dear Forum,
    I am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 OS into my SFX4200 server through Remote Control feature. I had setup the bios to 1st boot from CDROM and 2nd boot from Disk.
    So, i inserted Solaris 10 x86 media into my laptop. Then i connected my laptop directly to the ILOM using cross cable. From the ILOM web page i had launch the Remote Control. I powered on the SFX4200 and i can see the boot up process through the Remote Control window. The boot up process has successfully read my laptop Solaris 10 x86 media.
    At the end of the boot up process i saw three(3) option for me to choose:
    1. Solaris
    2. Solaris ttya
    3. Solaris ttya( SFV60x and SFV65x )
    I had selected, option #1 and #2 but few seconds later, i saw this error message "Error 28: selected item cannot fit into memory"
    This is my laptop configuration:
    - Microsoft Windows XP Pro
    - 512 MB of RAM
    - 40GB disk and 7GB available space.
    Has anyone encountered the same problem.
    Please, can someone help and guide me to solve my problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hspaans,
    First of all, thanks for the reply.
    I believe my machine has sufficient amount of memory. The following are the spec of my SFX4200 server:
    1x Dual Core AMD Opteron Processor 280( 2.4GHz )
    4x 2GB of Memory
    Fyi, i had also tried to start the installation using optin # 2 " Solaris ttya " but still failed.
    I will be much appreciate if you can help me or guide me to install Solaris 10 x86 OS through SFX4200 Remote Control window( Install OS using my laptop DVD Drive ).
    Please let me know, if you require more information.

  • Error 28: Selected item could not fit into memory question?

    hi evreyone,
    don't know but Solaris 10 is not making any sense to me at all.the peoblem is i have installed Solaris 10 many times ,sometime GRUB detected Windows XP automatically and other times it could not and other times it halted during installation and said I/O error could not install all packages ,so i changed my CD-ROM anyway it did install Solaris 10 some times but GRUB could not detec Windows XP automatically and i could not configure GRUB to do so manually so i bought a new CD-ROM and mounted it on my pc.anyway when i tryed to install Solaris 10 and choosed Solaris from the booting screen it displayed the above mentioned error:
    Error 28: Selected item can not fit into memory
    the upper memory in the booting screen was: 752576 kb
    lower memory: 639 kb
    don't know but Solaris 10 is not making any sense to me since a week ,it's behavior is not understood .although i did run the install check before starting the installation and it did say Soalris 10 can be installed on you system.my hardware information is the following:
    Gigabyte mother board with bult in VGA ,Sound ,Ethernet
    40 GB Western Digital Hard Disk
    750 MB of RAM's
    Pentuiem 4 ,1 MB Cache
    please adivce if anyone knows about this?

    I was trying to fix this for more then 2 weeks , finally the solution to fix this was easy: GRUB new version 97 is crab ( sorry why i do not know but .. )
    I have one disk with: windows xp and second part for fedora
    I got the error after upgrading to fedora 6
    I got GRUB 97 version with this fedora 6 automatically installed
    and while booting on disk :
    Error 28: Selected item could not fit into memory
    all forums are explaining that it is not possible to boot via GRUB on a 2 nd partion to Linux ( fedora) because of 1024 constrains etc.
    I can tell you that after installing GRUB version 92 in a fedora on the harddisk ( 2nd part) started via rescue cd
    I installed the GRUB older version 92 forced to overwrite the GRUB version 97 on this partion of fedora
    run grub via recue cd but run version 92 installed now
    via command
    /mnt/sysimage/sbin/grub
    root ( hd0,1)
    setup (hd0,1)
    it installs grub on the boot record
    and now I can boot without any problem on this GRUB in the boot record of the 2nd part of the disk
    I use GAG on the MBR and GRUB ( version 92) on the boot record of Fedora partition and now it starts easy , no problems anymore
    good to know, but it took some time to find it

    I was watching a lot of online content on video.pbs.org and now when I start any video on the site I get the 15 second advert and then the error in the title. I "think" (Not 100% sure) this started when I upgraded to flash 10. I also believe this is an error that most get who are region locked out of certain websites. For instance anyone outside of the US and Canada probably can't view anything on PBS Video. Any suggestions?

    Hi, I don't know if this has anything to do with the problems you are having, but you might want to read about it. The hardware acceleration is Enabled by default. Several other users on the forum have disabled it and that has been helpful.
    The topics listed have additional info.
    Whether those outside of Canada and the U.S. being able to view that site or not, I don't know. I do know there are a couple of UK sites, that I can't view(U.S.):-)

    Advice anyone ?
    PS the player itself is ace but the PC sotware seems to struggle.
    I also get the popular 'player not docked' problem.

    What firmware version are you using?
    I usually get that problem when I'm playing music on my micro using Creative mediasource and transfering files. So I stopped listening to music when I transfer files.
    Check to see if you are using USB .. I'm thinking that it could be the problem but I won't find out till I get my USB 2.0 card. I recently bought mines online and just waiting for it to arri've. USB . can only send about MB/sec while USB 2.0 can send about 60MB/sec.

    It seems that many people are having trouble with exporting. This is why FCP is saying I can not export. I need a fix in a hurry.

    Thanks for responding Tom.
    We shot with 4 different cameras and 3 different models. 2 Canon models. 2 - 60Ds and 1 - 5D. The forth camera was a GoPro. I was not at that shoot. All Canon setups were 24P. Again not sure on the GoPro.
    The media was taken off the Card onto a MacBookPro and I transferred via external drive to my iMac. No camera was ever attached to the iMac. I am editing on the iMac.
    I did start teh edit in a Final Cut Pro X trial version. But I am not sure that it is causing any of this problem.
    yes. I have selected Copy Files to Final Cut Events Folder.
