Right, this was too easy to be true. I now did:

Okay, so it's an algorithmic problem. This is quite important to know.
Is /boot a separate partition on your disk by any chance? Either way,
this means we can use qemu to debug this, which will make it a lot easier.
This is what I'd like you to do next:
- run qemu in one window with the -S -s options.
- in another window, do:
gdb
target remote localhost:1234
set architecture i8086
