 Possibly the partition/filesystem code since both removing the HDD and not
 entering the boot menu improves things?

 After the early VM setup all memory allocated by the boot loader that has
 not be claimed explicitly is freed. So even if the boot loader did leak
 memory, that wouldn't matter.

 Don't know what that is about, I don't think it's related to the boot
 problem, though. You could check what function 0x800dacb7 translates to
 (objdump).
