Re: [Trustedgrub-users] Error 13 on loading kernel after installing Trusted Grub

[Ariel S. <as...@mi...>]

In fact, it looks like I made a mistake; that was my old grub.conf, 
which was in a different subdirectory than /grub/, and a quirk of 
cat-ing an entire directory deceived me into thinking it was in the 
correct place. That's fixed now. Thanks.

However, I now get "Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory" 
whichever option I choose from my grub menu, and booting is stopped. 
These are, again, kernels that booted with no problems before 
TrustedGRUB was installed.  Any idea what might be causing this, and how 
to fix it? I've looked through the source code, and nothing's jumping 
out at me as obvious places to look for the problem.

       Thanks,

               Ariel
