I think you should investigate if the problem is really because GRUB
loads your kernel incorrectly. To examine that, you can put your
kernel on a local disk and a remote disk and use the command "cmp". If
this command doesn't show any difference between the two files, the
problem is not due to GRUB (or Etherboot), and perhaps due to your
kernel itself.
