I've tried too with a home-made boot loader which works in LBA mode (I use it in my system and works OK) using a no-emulation boot CD, but then the kernel is not even loaded :(
Thanks for the explanation :)) Why this did work on older kernels but not on 2.4.x :????
Anyway, I think I will use a patched version of Isolinux. Less complications and more power than a raw disk image :(
