grub - Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory
Diagnosing a corruption issue just before Christmas, I used “memtest86+” as usual. However instead of booting, the PC just said: “Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory”.
Fortunately this is covered by this Debian bug. It’s still not been fixed, in the meantime you can grab this precompiled memtest86+ ELF binary (not the usual x86 boot sector). You need to boot it slightly differently, my grub entry is:
title Memtest (ELF - 4GB fix) root (hd0,0) kernel --type=netbsd /memtest boot
