I am not aware of any issues, when it comes to booting from DOM. In my experience they behave just like normal IDE disks, but i never used a "secure" version. Using loadable kernel modules for IDE support is not a problem, just make sure they are in /boot/lib/modules.
To avoid "lock" problems i would prefer to use a DOS 6.22 or a win95 bootdisk. (there's a lot of choice at http://www.bootdisk.com) To make sure that it's not a PC or BIOS problem i would try to make it a bootable DOS disk. (sys c: and copy command.com form your dos-floppy) I have been using syslinux 1.67 succesfully to do what you want to achieve. The following parameter is in syslinux.cfg? boot=/dev/hda1,msdos Syslinux.cfg was not edited with a Windows editor by any chance?? Linux generally does NOT like that.
