so it's not a missing feature in the multiboot loader. thanks for the 
test, that eliminates several candidates!

I suspect some issues in kern/i386/loader.S. missing initialization by 
the coreboot platform code, or some other weirdness in the real mode code.
I'll take a look at it, but I can't give a time estimate.

If you're looking at it, as a first step you could do "set debug=all" on 
grub2's prompt, and look at the output (preferably over serial, so 
things don't disappear due to scrolling), maybe it gives some hints (no 
idea).
