(modified as described in my mail with the subject "6.1.1 Debugging - shell based init")

2a) The modified CD works in qemu.

3) last few lines (running back and forth from room to livingroom => maybe not entirely exact messages)

That completely rules out the old init as the guilty party. Many thanks for the confirmation.

Notes:
My machine:
  AMD K6 processor
I tried booting it with:
boot:
boot: pci=noacpi
boot: noapic pci=noacpi
Each one seemed to produce the same results

because the last two lines are wrong. Please try:

boot: linux noapic pci=noacpi
boot: linux noapic pci=noacpi mem=64M
