Okay, tried that out too. Did not work well either.

When I give kernel arguments grub says:

Anomaly in region alocations detected. Simultaneous relocators?
Boot aborted. Press any key to exit.

Screenshot: plai.de/grub1.jpg

If I do not supply kernel arguments, it may boot or not:

>boot
error: no suitable mode found
Booting however
error: no video mode activated

But without video and the kernel not mouting the filesystem (so no
remote) it is hard to tell.
