[Bug 316420] [NEW] "mem=" kernel parameter no longer works

[Sb]

Public bug reported:

Hi I have Ubuntu Intrepid with both the 2.6.27-7 and 2.6.27-8 generic
kernels installed.  I sometimes need to simulate programs running on an
old low memory system, so I specify the kernel parameter in GRUB
"mem=128M", to force the kernel to only use 128 MB of RAM.  But this
does not work on intrepid.  When I try to boot with that option, it
immediately fails and reboots with no error message, apparently a kernel
panic.  Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!
