1 ok, I got it working, following steps, in case someone googles for it:
2
3 * set the GRUB_MAX_KERNEL_SIZE variable in /etc/make.conf to a suff. high value
4 * re-emerge grub
5 * make sure, that grub detects all your memory: this was my problem ;)
6 grub needs ((kernel_size)+1)*2 of memory...
7 playing around with bios settings finally solved the issue for me.
