Gujin may or may not help, but knowing about it is liable to usefully bend 
your brain along the way.

What is Gujin
Gujin is a PC boot loader which can analyze your partitions and filesystems.
It finds the Linux kernel images available, as well as other bootable 
partitions (for *BSD, MS-DOS, Windows, etc.), files (*.kgz) and bootable 
disk images (*.bdi), and displays a graphical menu for selecting which 
system to boot.
Gujin boots Linux kernel using the documented interface, like LILO and GRUB, 
so it doesn't need any other pre-installed bootloader. It can also directly 
load gzip'ed ELF32 or ELF64 files, with a simple interface to collect 
real-mode BIOS data. There is no need to execute anything after making a new 
kernel: just copy the kernel image file into the "/boot" directory, with a 
standard name.
Gujin is written almost entirely in C with GCC, and it fully executes in 
real mode to be as compatible as possible.
