10 Or perhaps not. I have 12+ MB kernels ( with internal initramfs for v86d
11 and modules ) and external initramfs loaded with grub without any
12 problem. And I use grub-0.97-r6.
13 This machine is Dell Notebook Inspiron 1720 ( Intel C2D), but similar
14 setup works on several workstations and server, too ( all AMD X2 and
15 Phenom based)...
