By adding "debug printfs" to the grub source code; I used console_putchar(char) calls. And building a custom bootable Solaris x86 CD with the modified boot/grub/stage2_eltorito file. The character printed before the gateA20(1) call in init_bios_info() appeared on the console, the character printed after the gateA20(1) call doesn't appear on the console. The next try was with more console_putchar calls added to the gateA20() code. This narrowed it down to the loop waiting for an empty keyboard controller input buffer.
