Grub unconditionally disables* the A20 Gate now (*: enables full memory
access). This has proven very beneficial to all Operating Systems, but
obviously hurts graphical program loaders like '98. Himem.sys seems to be
confused if things are already in a usable state, producing the false loading
error.
Workarounds:
* use a standalone boot selector to choose between '98 and operating systems
* find a capable himem.sys from third parties.
* upgrade the gaming platform to a supported version (e.g. XP)
* stick to a SuSE Linux from 1998 as well.
