Yeah, I just stated that as a reference. Maybe you knew the images and 
could verify it. I haven't had mych time today and I won't have it 
tomorrow.

I hope to let you know more this weekend or next week when I:

 1. Look in the images and disable/enable himem.sys
 2. Boot the images from a normal grub on my harddisk to compare

But still I don't have more debugging information other than the normal 
memdisk output which doesn't say very much to find the cause.

Just to remind me that I got them from the Bochs-site (and are probably 
therefor rather old).
