Comment (by mmlr):
It's not the SBx00 problem (or at least not the same one ;-) as that'd
kick in far later in the boot process.
As this is apparently a more generic problem I'd guess it comes from how
we do early boot (i.e. switching protected mode on and off which is, while
technically fine, not how most other boot loaders do it and hence has a
chance of being untested/buggy with some BIOSes/hardware).
It's quite difficult to debug such early boot problems as you can't get
any debug output depending on how early it happens. Without having the
hardware at hand to hand-debug the process it's unlikely to find the real
cause.
