Well, I've had extremely good behavior out of loadlin myself;  both on Toshiba
laptops, and on, errm, older desktop systems too, where we weren't too sure
LILO would do the Right Thing.

Just make sure your kernels are always visible on the FAT filesystem and 
you'll be fine;  given the description I assume you're saving the windows
parts, so just create a /linux directory to keep loadlin's stuff in.
