My CD burner is broken and right now I don't have access to another one. I have tried to boot the pen drive kernel using grub but there is a problem. This is what i did: root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/sda1 initrd /initrd error 28:selected item cannot fit into memory. How to avoid this error? I have read somewhere that it is not possible to do it when grub is running under a kernel. If it is true then how to get to grub without loading a kernel?
