Hello,
today I noticed that the system hangs if the memory is larger than 128MB (this can easily be tested using vmware). But the RMGR only writes the message mentioned below. Is this the expected behavior? If more than 128MB is not possible (without source modifications) I would expect at least an error message. Thus Fiasco seems to have _no_ problems with Pentium II CPUs, sorry.

I had the same probs, but yesterday I noticed that it isn't a grub problem, but a CPU problem. If I am using a Thinkpad PII 366 RMGR hangs, too, but with an older PI 133 or Celeron 433 it works fine.
Is it due to CPU itself? Recently I had a chance to run Fiasco on PentiumII (Deschutes) 451MHz with 256MB RAM, I received same message which you reported.
RMGR: WARNING: All memory about 128MB is wasted! (hang)
I had supposed too large memory is harmful for RMGR. (This "128MB" limit is fixed in l4/pkg/rmgr/server/src/memmap.h) Yet I've not checked how it goes when the memories is reduced. In your case, all testing machines have memories larger than 128MB?
