What does "won't boot" mean? Your box(es) can't boot using
isolinux/syslinux but grub works?

> boot
syslinux (used at grml2usb) is using the following kernel
commandline as default:
ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us usb apm=power-off vga=791 initrd=minirt26.gz nomce quiet BOOT_IMAGE=grml

This looks like output of an initramfs/initrd created by
initramfs-tools.

Same here. That's not grml's minirt26.gz but initramfs-tools.
Try dropping the 'root (hd0,0)' line and the root=/dev/sda1
kernel-option of the 'Grml minitrd' section in your menu.lst, AFAICS
your system tries to boot from /dev/sda1 currently. :)
