See http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2007-December/009291.html for
example.  But others also had similar problems.  If you could try
booting the same images on your models, I would be interested to hear
the results.  I routinely use memdisk to boot other machines, and most
of the time it indeed works perfectly well.
