RE: Out of Memory Error |

I've posted my problem to this list before without getting a
solution - also to grub-help and Ubuntu forum(s), no answer - I'm
stumped and would really appreciate help.
I have Kubuntu 10.10, a custom 2.6.37.1 kernel, and GRUB2. I was on
v1.98 when the problem started, I'm now on 1.99~rc1 which I downloaded
and compiled, the upgrade didn't help.
My system has three disks - / is on an SSD, and /home is on the other
two disks which are in software RAID. Each of the three disks has a
Windows 7 partition - the SSD has the Windows C: disk and the other
two have partitions for Windows data disks.
All this worked fine for some time, and then something (was?) changed,
I don't know what. Now, If I boot from a power off state, I get GRUB
"Out of Memory" error, and it goes to grub-rescue>, no boot. I can
thereafter boot from the Kubuntu install disk, do repair system, do
update-grub, and reboot successfully thereafter. But if I power off,
I'm back to the GRUB "Out of Memory" error.
In repair system mode I've tried zeroing the boot sectors on all three
disks, then grub-install to all three disks, then update-grub, same
result(s). I've tried changing the bios to boot from one of the /home
disks, same result.
Results of the boot_info_script.sh are below. The only other thing I've
noticed is that linux periodically changes the sdX identifiers when it
identifies my three disks - but as indicated by the script output, I'm using
UUIDs to identify the disks, not the sdX identifiers.
Apart from help in solving the problem, I'd appreciate instructions how
further trace/log/diagnose the problem.
Thanks, Gus
