Just another data point:
I also ran into this error a few weeks ago when I tried to install
a 64bit kernel on a Dual-Opteron server with 8GB RAM. I had to
compile a custom kernel that does not use initrd to avoid this error
message.
On a second Dual-Opteron server with the same mainboard but with only
2 GB RAM the initrd kernel worked fine. Maybe grub does not like
more than 2 (4?) GB RAM ?
