After testing several other kernels, I think I have found the root cause:
Geode LX does not support PAE.
How could I have missed that, sorry for the noise.
I don't know how to close this bug properly myself.
This kernel, from the installer, does boot:
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/20181206/images/hd-media/
It has the same version numbers as the "normal" deb that doesn't boot
(on which I reported).
See attachment for dmesg.

Dear Maintainer,
I tried Buster with 4.18.20-2 kernel on an Alix 2C2, with Geode LX800, BIOS
0.99m.
After grub unpacking initramfs, the (serial) console outputs nothing (despite
earlyprintk/boot_delay), then it reboots by itself.
