Bug Description
After the installation has been finished, grub does not start the kernel but
prints an error message "Selected item cannot fit into memory". Since the
machine has 6GB of memory, this seems to be a bug in grub.

Perhaps this change?
grub (0.95+cvs200406 24-8) unstable; urgency=low
* patches/ 2gb_limit. diff: New. Fix problem with systems with more than
2 GB memory (notably, x86_64-based systems). Thanks Goswin Brederlow.

I don't own a machine with that much memory, though ...
