   With grub-0.92 works "uppermem=131072" and "uppermem 131072" fine...
   With a previous grub's version, "uppermem 131072" doesn't work

   I've not found problems booting L4/Fiasco using "uppermem=131072) on
   grub. Boots OK.

   Anyone could tell me how to capture the "dmesg" if I couldn't boot
