Hi,

First, you can check the size of partition, for example, does the ones
that doesn't boot cross any boundary, like 4G/2G ?

Also, you mention it apply to qemu as well, how do you test it, can
you produce a qemu image that illustrate the problem ?

Partitions 4 and 6 contain  the same data, a syslinux-booted puppylinux.
4 chainloads correctly, 6 gives me "Boot error".
Interestingly, using Grub Legacy, chainloaded from Grub2, I can't boot the 4th partition either.

About qemu, I simply use the device as a raw disk with qemu and boot it.
