I have found the problem with my own kernel. It simply doesn't support ramdisk at boot time :-). After compiling this feature in, it boots into d-i! HIPI! But I have no success with your kernel. All other files are the same. Only the vmlinux binary is exchanged. No idea whats wrong with it. Thanks for your answer.
