Description
grub should be configured with: ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-auto-linux-mem-opt
Without this, grub starts kernel with mem=xxx which is usually wrong and confuses linux kernels. In my case both 2.4.23 and 2.6.0 got confused and PCMCIA was not working. With --disable-auto-linux-mem-opt, both kernels guessed the memory correctly and PCMCIA worked properly.

Committed changes to implement "--no-mem-option" in menu.lst. Closing.

Hmmm, personally, I've always used "kernel --no-mem-option /boot/lfskernel" in my menu.lst file for reasons I cannot remember. We probably need discussion on lfs-dev to see what other folks experiences are.
