at first: thank you very much for your help. It works fine and I'm
running the new Kernel. :D
If anyone experiences a simlilar problem: The important part of
the /boot/grub/menu.lst is:
title Booting 2.6.18-3 with Disklabel
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-3-686 kopt=/dev/disk/by-label/root
root=/dev/disk/by-label/root ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-3-686
savedefault
The line following "kernel" is a single line. I gave my root
filesystem /dev/hda3 the label with "e2label /dev/hda3 root".

This seems to be correct.
Important additional information:
The problem isn't as complex and wired as I thought at first. It occurs
in single user mode too. I was so confused that I booted the older
kernel in recovery mode, and as a result of this, I was confused even
more. There is not anything so easy that I can't do it wrong...
