I've tried with all the loader_bl I've been able to found! I always get the 
same problem (I can upload and "install" the loader_bl, but as soon as the 
installation is completed, the system reboots and the 2.4 loader is always 
there! The loader_bl.alt doesn't even install...)

I guess if the loader and loader.alt you are talking about are something 
different (maybe original siemens?) and in that case where can I find them?> 
The old images work with the same bootloader as windows does, the newer ones
