It should boot further than that.
Which palo version are you running?
Did you ran "palo -v" before reboot?

No, I didn't know, that this is necessary. After "palo -v" the system is booting now. Booting continues now with "Uncompressing ...". The old palo (1.95) seems to be unable to uncompress the kernel.

I pulled out any graphics card of this machine though.

And this seems to be necessary. It's still pure chance, whether the graphics card is working or not. It may even cause a crash during booting. Here's a boot log of a crash:

At this point it crashed with a blinking red LED.

But even if the graphics card works, it's almost unusable now. The previous version with KDE4 worked reasonable fast, but the new Plasma desktop is incredibly slow. Even the simple systemsettings5 application uses about 100% CPU time and everything reacts extremely slow on keyboard and mouse events.
