Sorry, but I'm afraid I'm not skilled enough to do that.

Recompiled my kernel with debian 2.6.13 source (same config), but there
is no difference.
Actually the bootup process seems to be less problematic, but this can
be by accident: Tried 5 times, 3 of them without any errors(!), the
other the usual "snd_*/*hcd/8250* ... Unknown symbol" error.
