DOC interferes with linux boot

Ignore that last post.  I meant to delete it, not send.

For the record, the TrueFFS bit of the DOC uses up 69K of
conventional memory, which is apparently too little for GRUB to load
the bzImage...

Followup:

Upgrading GRUB-0.91 to GRUB-0.96 solved the problem.

DOC interferes with linux boot

[Joseph M Dupre (AVAB Inc.)]

I have a system with one of the 32 pin Disk-on-Chip devices.  The DOC
has the "default" formatting using TrueFFS and a single DOS
partition.  On a hard drive I've got Red Hat Linux 7.3.

When I try to load Linux, grub reports:

root (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=/dev/hda1
   [Linux-bzimage, setup=0x1400, size=0xfcdc3]

Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory


If I remove the DOC, Linux boots correctly.
If I erase the binary (BDK) partition on the DOC (and thus removing
TrueFFS), Linux also boots correctly.

Can someone tell me why this is happening and if there is a remedy to
load the Linux kernel while keeping the DOC with it's default TrueFFS
configuration?
